The problem is that a bug in the lenny package version leads to a
question on an package upgrade. The question cannot be eliminated by a
fix in a new package version because the error already exists on the
machine when the lenny version is installed.
This bug is fixed in the squeeze version of the package.

Now my questions are:

* Is this kind of bug important enough to be fixed in a lenny update
release?
* Will there be any update release (5.0.8) of lenny before squeeze?
* What is the correct upload queue (lenny-proposed-updates with urgency
high?)?

Thanks in advance for your help.


Best regards

Roland
