** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: purrr
  
  Feature Freeze Exception request for purrr 0.8.0. A new upstream version
  has been released with these changes:
  
  New in 0.8:
  
  - BIG user interaction improvement: no longer can templates that would lead
    to clashing filenames be applied. This removes possible data loss scenario
  - BIG user interaction improvement: if generated names conflict with already
    existing files, rename will be aborted and warning shown. This removes 
    another possible data loss. Conflicting filenames are marked with 
appropriate
    icon to make spotting them easy
  - BIG improvement: renaming is now done in safe way, using temporary files
    to ensure nothing is accidentally overwritten
  
+  [...]
  
  Granting this FFe would allow Bug #195806 to be closed.
  
  **Rationale:
  No updates for Purrr have been released since it was first uploaded on the 
17th March 2007 (Version 0.5.1, the latest upstream is 0.8.0) in Feisty. The 
upstream release notes say that the latest version is much safer to use on real 
data (renaming done in a safer way, clashing file-names impossible, warning 
when process will overwrite existing data)
