Package: isdnutils-base
Version: 1:3.3.0.20041110-1
Tags: patch
Severity: grave
Justification: cuts users from access to packages.debian.org

The ISDN device template (/usr/share/isdn/default/device.DEVICE), which is
copied to /etc/isdn/ for every device created via /usr/sbin/isdnconfig
contains the following section:

--- snip ---
# The (dummy) IP addresses
#
# Use 192.25.206.10 for LOCALIP and 10.0.0.2 for REMOTEIP if you have
# dynamic IP addresses; with static address fill in the real values!

LOCALIP=192.25.206.10   # XXX_
--- snip ---

192.25.206.10 is the IP address of packages.debian.org, and therefore
completely unsuited as a dummy address for links with dynamic addresses.
Using 192.25.206.10 will result in all requests to packages.d.o being
rerouted to the local machine, which is just wrong. An unrouted IP
address, such as 10.0.0.1 should be used instead:

--- snip ---
# The (dummy) IP addresses
#
# Use 10.0.0.1 for LOCALIP and 10.0.0.2 for REMOTEIP if you have
# dynamic IP addresses; with static address fill in the real values!

LOCALIP=10.0.0.1   # XXX_
--- snip ---

This should really be fixed before the next Debian release, in order to
avoid the illusion that packages.d.o is broken...
