No.
Beside that not all people follow the point-releases debian developers had
~4 years of testing and working with apt( and other core things)/squeeze and
they only seem to stumble across bugs months after deep freeze of wheezy…
It would be pretty insane to replace this now with basically untested
(compared to ~2 years in stable-production squeeze) code.
Ignoring this the "fix" for this is a whole GSoC project, so basically
hundreds of lines of code which will get you hanged, drawn and quartered
before you have even proposed a debdiff to the stable release team.
That is of course old news to everyone who took the time to do something as
crazy as read the buglog, but nobody does this nowadays anyway – and so
that is what I will do with this thread now too… *leaves and mutes thread*
