OK, thanks for your details. I do also think, that this bug is not a release
critical rather an important bug.

So - I'm still interested in working for the policyd weight package but currently
I do not know where to start properly. My idea to repackage the current stable one
wasn't that smart, apperently :)

In the long run, I want to take over the package as there is currently no maintainer
for it. As you said, I should check the current package in testing if the mentioned
bug there does also persist ?

best regards and thank you,
Werner
