But the official stance of Debian is the one I lined out above, by both the SRMs and the Backports-RMs. You must not be forced to install packages from backports just to get a bug fixed. In this case one could argue that the bug in groovy is indeed release-critical, since it does not work at all. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
