Thanks for taking care of that.

I have appliced the patch 00-escape-hyphens-in-manpages.patch upstream
in rev [2543].

However, I do not understand why you want to replace calls to /bin/sh in
all backup scripts by calls to /bin/bash. I think that at restore time,
bash is not mandatory. I'v not checked all scripts, but IIRC there were
made to be relatively agnostic in term of shell (bash, bourne, dash,
...) So I din't applied it for the moment, and would like confirmation
that it's indeed needed. If we can stay more generic the better,
especially in prevision of 2.2.10 where busybox will disappear.

Concerning the last patch, it will just break support of other older
distributions (including older Debian, Ubuntu ones). So it needs to be
handled in a more gentle way that a simple replacement of cdreord by
wodim.

Isn't there any compatibility package in Debian to maintain availability
of calls to cdrecord and mkisofs, such as what exists on my Mandriva:

r...@victoria2 ~]# ll /usr/bin/cdrecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2007-05-19 18:43 /usr/bin/cdrecord -> 
/etc/alternatives/cdrecord*
[r...@victoria2 ~]# ll /etc/alternatives/cdrecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2009-11-16 18:42 /etc/alternatives/cdrecord -> 
/usr/bin/wodim

Let me come up with something more suited for that problem.

2.2.9 is entering a really stable life now. I have some patches for an
upcoming 2.2.9.2. So I won't take patches that change too much the code
for that branch anymore.
The rest of the dev is done in 2.2.10 and devel branches now. FYI. And
there we can make lots of modifications (and lots have already been
done, but status is that only mindi has been tested correctly up to now
in 2.2.10.

Thanks for your help,
Bruno.
