The bug seems to have considerable impact as Nicolas pointed two related bugs (1-normal, 1-minor). The patches provided by Nicolas seem to hit that nail on the head (IMHO). How do we proceed about it? Is there a way to promote the inclusion of this fix in lenny? http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=cdebconf states: * trying to update cdebconf from 0.138lenny2 to 0.139 (candidate is 21 days old) * cdebconf is in freeze; contact debian-release if update is needed Yet, This fix is NOT even in 0.139.
