aha, great! You seemed to also remove "-w" from perl, was that a mistake? At least I don't get any warnings if I put it back. >> Or should "-aall" always be implicit? > > I'd prefer being explicit. Ok. I noticed you updated the man page. Since debsnap can now support so many different options I converted the examples that were mentioned in bug #587523 to a proper EXAMPLES section. Can you check the attached patch?
