I really think that *if* you could take a look at those two packages, you'll find that the update *is* actually required. I also wrote to you a few days before the freeze that I'm underway preparing the upgrade I now uploaded when you first wrote about the imminent freeze. > General package polishing should happen prior to the cleanup.

It has much less breakage than you think because there are actually two things done in /etc/default/roundup: * selecting a user id which defaults to 'roundup' (in case the file isn't there) * and selecting between using a sysv-style script or runit (service configuration), again defaulting to using the init.d script. FWIW, the runit support in this package version actually works while the runit support in the -4 package was still only heritage and highly incompatible with runit versions younger than about a year.
