On that note could someone from the apt team please look at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536029
I know it breaks the ABI (since I had to recompile aptitude with the
patch applied) and that probably can't be avoided. So it would be good
to combine this with other ABI breakages.
The patch works for everything I use, which means cdrom urls are
untested, but I don't want to invest time if the patch just gets
ignored and rots in the BTS. If you say the patch is acceptable so far
then I can burn some CD images and test/fix that part too.
