In a nutshell, synergys crashes for some people, with a lifetime of
between a few hours and a few seconds. It is "important" because it
makes the package unusable for some people.
The patch (apart from the changelog) is three lines. I have tested it,
and it at least does not make synergys any worse. At least one bug
submitter has reported that the patch completely fixes the problem.
The package has been uploaded to unstable, and seems to be making its
way through the buildds OK. I have it installed on lenny, and it does
not seem to pull anything in not in lenny.
Please unblock.
