and it's clones, yes. The fix itself is trivial, quoting 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485233#50

Ok, so we can easily apply it to the 0.81 packages via t-p-u if the release 
team decides thats the proper route to take. (And whatever route we have to 
take, I'm happy to do prepare the necessary uploads.)

shows the needed fix.

Well, we could make the 0.81 packages work, but then Debian would be the only 
distribution shipping this outdated and known buggy release. So, really, I 
would prefer removal or 0.82.

Releaseteam, please have a look at 
http://sugarlabs.org/go/Image:Sucrose-0-82-roadmap.png - which contrary to its 
title also includes 0.81 and which shows that the 0.81 we have in lenny is 
early release of that cycle, while I propose to package 0.82 which is the 
latest stable version in this branch, to which no new changes have been done  
since August.

If you say "0.82 might be an option, please prepare the packages to unstable 
and we will see, but no guaranties", I'll do that (and accept whatever 
outcome then), else I think they should be removed. (I'm still looking for 
someone who would prefer to have 0.81 in lenny, but I assume everybody would 
prefer not to have it in lenny and receive 0.82 via backports.org shortly 
after lenny is released.)

I'm asking as fixing 0.82, which indeed needs to be done anyway, is a bit 
work, and I'm short on time, so I try to priorize.


regards,
	Holger, who didnt plan to get involved in sugar packaging that much, but I 
didnt expect the current main maintainer to neglect lenny either...
