Package: units
Version: 2.11-1
Severity: normal

units handles "s" for second, "µ" for "micro" as is SI standard. But the 
combination of the two is not handled correctly.

For example:

 $ units µg
        Definition: micro g = 1e-09 kg
 $ units µg ng
        * 1000
        / 0.001

And:

$ units ms ns
        * 1000000
        / 1e-06

But:

$ units µs ns
conformability error
        1e-06
        1e-09 s

By contrast:
$ units µsecond ns
        * 1000
        / 0.001
