It's a rather annoying problem.
No, we won't update to 3.6.9 in wheezy, sorry. that would be against the freeze policy and therefore rejected by release managers. This bug is not release critical, imho. It may be "important" asI understand it affects some users, particularly when using ACL-enabled environments. I had a brief look at the bug and its fix. It might be relevant for a fix in wheezy but that needs to be asked to the Debian release team. The patch is not that simple, indeed. Of course, I'mquite confident in Jeremy Allison's fixes but *I* am not the one to convince. Might be better to fix *after* the release of squeeze.
