At the risk of repeating myself from elsewhere lately on this mailing
list.
This whole thread is about Debian _Unstable_.
Unstable can be EXACTLY what it says on the tin. _Sid breaks toys._
When Unstable breaks, as the saying goes, you get to keep both pieces.
(The value of having regular backups is not restricted to those
running Unstable.)
By all means, file a bug report against the relevant package so that
this can be tracked and fixed. (Actually, _please_ do, if one doesn't
already exist.) I agree that this should be fixed, preferably before
the change makes it into Testing. Posting on debian-user is not how
one files a bug report, however.
And posting on debian-user with a bombastic Subject line which implies
that this is a widespread issue when it really only seems to exist in
Unstable is, quite frankly, in my opinion at best dishonest.
