Since this sev: important bug has a significant impact on sarge->etch
upgrades for desktop users, I've prepared an NMU of fam that drops the
Conflicts: as proposed here. The patch is attached, and the NMU has been
uploaded to DELAYED/7-day on gluck to give you an opportunity to
object/override.
With this mail, I'm also asking that the release team review this update and
consider it for inclusion in etch at the appropriate time.
Thanks,
