Bug #494140[0] is as follows:

  Package: sshfs
  Version: 2.0-2
  Severity: grave
  Justification: causes non-serious data loss

  There is a new 2.1 release, containing bugfixes. Among the fixes
  are: *Fix bug in caching which could cause file corruption for
  append mode writes. It's data loss bug, hence the grave severity of
  the bug.

  The new release also fixes the statvfs call, making for example df
  work.

The changelog for 2.1[1] lists the following changes:

  2008-07-11  Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    * Released 2.1
 
  2008-07-11  Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    * Fix statvfs extension to match the current protocol in
      opensshfs
    * Check version numbers of extensions, so such changes wouldn't
      cause stupid behavior
  2008-06-24  Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    * Add '-F' option to specify the ssh config file.  Patch by Pat
      Pascal.
  2008-05-06  Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    * Fix bug in caching which could cause file corruption for append
      mode writes.  Reported by Jose Alonso
  2008-05-05  Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    * Fix compile on OS X.  Original patch from Michael G Schwern
    * Fix compile on Solaris.  Reported by Jean-Jacques Sarton
 
This all appears fairly harmless, at least enough to warrant a freeze
unblocking of a potential sshfs 2.1 upload.

Cheers,

--Seb
