Bug#540512: Bug#538822: dash and sh diversions: wouldn't it be nice to fix 538822 and 540512?
Quoting Paul Gevers (elb...@debian.org): Hi all involved, [This is a ping]. Reading through RC bug 538822 and 540512 (which were already RC during Squeeze release in 2010) I have the feeling that it is known how these bug could be fixed and changes are available in the git repository. Shouldn't we discuss this with the release team and see if we can upload the latest changes? I tried to review them, but this is to complicated for me. If we can not get this fixed for Wheezy, do we (again) need release-notes to note the fact? Or just use the Pre-Depends as mentioned in bug 538822? Willing to help, if I can. IMHO (not involved in any of these packages), now is bad time to fix these bugs: too late in the release process. What's needed is someone taking care of them as soon as possible after the release of wheezy. Such important and hairy issues should be dealt with at the beginning of a release cycle and not when we're polishing things for a release. My 2 cents, only. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes, I think we should try to fix the diversion mess in experimental, ignoring the release cycle, and wait for wheezy+1 or later before including the changes in sid. Sorry I dropped the ball on this. Help testing and tweaking the patches is always welcome. On the plus side, this means we have time to make the appropriate debootstrap improvements to get this working cleanly and well.
