debsums seriously broken in stable

[Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>]

Hi,

debsums is seriously broken in stable due to #744398 and this affects
piuparts.d.o badly, so currently I've manually+hackishly installed debsums
from the 2.0.52+nmu2 upload on piu-slave-bm-a.d.o, where I need it.

But I (and DSA) would like to use a packaged version, so I wonder if the
following patch would be suitable for a stable upload:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=99;filename=744398-nmu.patch;att=1;bug=744398

Alternativly I could backport debsums and use that, but AIUI serious bugs in
stable should be fixed there properly.

What do you think? Shall I open a bug against release.d.o to track this
request or...?


cheers,
	Holger
