Package: bacula-sd
Version: 2.4.0-1~bpo40+1
Severity: important

in the included /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer, there's a stanza 
starting at line 68:

  Linux)
    if test -e /etc/debian_version ; then
       ready="drive status"
    else
       ready="ONLINE"
    fi

which sets how to grep through the output of mt to see if the drive is 
ready or not. however, the special debian code here is only correct if 
/bin/mt is from mt-gnu. if it's from mt-st, then "drive status" will not 
be present in the output, so mtx-changer will think the drive is never 
ready after changing tapes.

this is especially problematic because bacula-sd specifically recommends 
mt-st, not mt-gnu.
