Dear Release Team,
I got the request add some SELinux handling to screen's cleanup init.d
script: http://bugs.debian.org/680360 (also cited below)
SELinux support has not become a release goal, but Russell
nevertheless expressed that he'd be glad if this patch would make it
into Wheezy.
Since I have to make at least one more upload of screen with i18n
stuff and documentation fixes anyway (which will happen either later
today or within the next few days), I wonder if the release team would
grant a freeze exception for an upload of screen if I would include
his one-line patch to the init.d script as shown below?
