Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.21

All I know is I like to use one of your scripts, checkbashisms.

All was fine, until today, for the privilege of continuing to use this
tiny script, I "Need to get 37.4MB of archives".

Seen on apt-get dselect-upgrade, dist-ugrade, but not plain upgrade.

Abort.

But then oddly, first doing an upgrade before a dselect-upgrade avoids
the massive download.

Odd odd odd.
Please reassign to the package to blame. Thanks.
