It may be that Mr. Towns no longer feels the bug isn't release-critical, as he has had many months to tag it "sarge-ignore", and hasn't. I feel sure it hasn't escaped his attention, as he is both familiar with it and I am confident that he is diligent about scrutinizing the entire RC bug list on an ongoing basis in his capacity as Release Manager. Consequently, I don't honestly know if he will regard #143825 as a show-stopper for the sarge release. (Hint to those interested: the bug is tagged "help", and has been since August. I'm happy to discuss concrete, technical proposals for fixing it on the debian-x mailing list.) -- G.
