Have a look at 2.9.25 please!  You're the second person to scream
about this one, and I've made lots of pseudo-reversions already.

Have done and it's now the default.

Confused.  There was a suggestion in a bug report, and I followed that
suggestion.  I didn't find the time to search the -devel archives to
see what consensus was reached.

I'll leave this bug report open for the time being; I am somewhat
ambivalent about which way this one should go, so if there's a good
reason to go one way rather than the other, please tell me!
(Personally, I would prefer to see an NMU patch which fixes multiple
bugs filed against one of my packages sent to all of the relevant
bugs.)
