You mean http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640499#66 ? He
didn't say he's opposed to the patch, just that the release team might
not let it through. The release team didn't reply (or I missed it?).
libcap2 multiarchification was let in though
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684647), and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681717 looks like a
similar case which has not yet been decided on (multiarchification
needed to prevent regression from Squeeze for a large usergroup - even
larger than this one, which "only" affects users of the proprietary
NVidia driver).
Kind regards,
Ralf
