Yes, it seems to be in. I still don't understand why ppp has both links.
Other daemons don't get these links at all.

P.S.: Bruce, due to some mail problems we had here over the weekend it seems
I got kicked out of debian-devel. I will subscribe again. That's no big deal
but I'd like to know of my debian-private subscription is still valid. If
not would you please set me on it again. Thanks.
