Any comment on this proposed update? Although I completely see the point as it is changing a default in stable, I still wonder if we should do it because it has been switched upstream and was a problem several times for reporting user. In any case if you agree that it is still sensible, I'm happy to upload the proposed debdiff. Regards, Salvatore
