The main difference I can see is that this bug only affects the Debian ifrastructure, as opposed to a security bug, which affects users. I don't think it is worth it to upload a new version of a package just to fix a small bug which doesn't affect users at all, but I wanted to hear some opinions. I will go the way suggested by Alexander, i.e. report a bug myself and tag it as pending. But I'll be sure to contact you once I need a sponsor to upload a new version of beef ;) -- Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
