You say that while later on you claimed not to understand everything about the 
package (update script). Don't you have the impression that this judgement is 
also based on incomplete information on the package ?

That's why I propose you to do the work you are asking us. Then you'll 
understand all the things about the package, and will be able to state such 
assomption.

I say this without any anger, I would be pleased to upload a package that 
corrects this bug, but I am almost sure that the amount of change needed will 
never make it into etch.
