Hi doko, all-- We really should consider dropping privmode.diff from bash in unstable. This has come up yet again on the oss-security list:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q2/565 We're in a time in the release cycle where we can afford a bit of breakage in unstable should it happen (though i'm not convinced that there will be breakage -- this was a workaround for quite a narrow problem, aiui), and i'd very much like to see Debian not have this security-sensitive difference (in the wrong direction) from other distros. I agree with you that a non-essential bash would be great to have as well, but that sounds much more likely to introduce widespread breakage, and i don't think it should block this narrower fix. Thanks all for your work maintaining bash in debian! Regards, --dkg
