Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.0-3
Severity: important

Supporting -depth is mandated by POSIX and AFAIK it's the only way to make find
deterministic to a certain extend. This, however, does not work:

puma:/source# find . -name configure.ac
./external/llvm/autoconf/configure.ac
./external/llvm/projects/sample/autoconf/configure.ac
./configure.ac
./f/lp_solver/lp_solve_5.5/configure.ac

puma:/source# find . -depth -name configure.ac
./external/llvm/autoconf/configure.ac
./external/llvm/projects/sample/autoconf/configure.ac
./configure.ac
./f/lp_solver/lp_solve_5.5/configure.ac

I should add that this problem was originally observed on an Etch system, but
the behaviour remains the same in lenny and sid chroots.
