It was. But then Russ Allbery noted some oddities! :-) I have addressed those issues with a new package turn. Here is the latest and greatest: http://www.proulx.com/~bob/debian/pool/sid/main/time/2012-06-24/time_1.7-24.dsc http://www.proulx.com/~bob/debian/pool/sid/main/time/2012-06-24/time_1.7-24_amd64.changes I think it is ready to go. To make the review easier I am attaching the diff with the incremental changes between the 2012-06-22 and 2012-06-24 versions. Thanks! Bob
