Bug#689003: unblock: bacula/5.2.6+dfsg-5



Sorry, i don't see any reply.

I prepare package for wheezy, changelog here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-bacula/bacula.git;a=blob;f=debian/changelog;h=56223bdd477cd7a52770eae92cfc5d1c857dea27;hb=wheezy

i try to make each changelog record as separate commit with clean
description:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-bacula/bacula.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/wheezy

If i has not a mess, than all changes except one was accepted.
I didn't get final reply about #556207 (see inline).

And i have yet another question - there was a non-maintainer upload.
What package version should be now?

1. we can't get coredump for bacula daemons
http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1949

2. Upstream declare, that backtrace output enough for bugreports about
crashes.

Seriously, user must know, what to change before edit shell script.
I can add this to documentation, but will not be this poinlessly?
