fixed -1 0.9.6-1
thanks

I agree with your concern about lock-out from the cron job not
running. Unfortunately, shield-purge (which does the actual work when
called by the cron job) also had a stack of problems in 0.9.2 that
could lead to the same result. I did try my best to get fixes in for
wheezy; unfortunately 0.9.6-1 didn't get sponsor attention before
freeze (several of these issues were fixed in 0.9.2-4 for squeeze and
never got attention.)

Looking through the git history, I think I can take patches designed
for 0.9.2-4, apply against 0.9.2-3.3, and manage not to break the
upgrade to 0.9.6-1. This should be doable via unstable. Technically it
would be an NMU, based on "not changing anything besides the bug," but
I think it would match freeze policy under "fixes for severity:
important bugs in packages of priority: optional or extra, only when
this can be done via unstable."  Of course, once I actually go to
implement it (quilt-managed patches in 1.0 packages, ew) I may find
I'm staring at a brick wall.

I'd appreciate a commitment from someone to sponsor before I put in
the work, though.
