Package: wicd
Severity: minor

Wicd seems to run _all_ executable files in /etc/wicd/scripts/*/
directories, even backup files with ~ suffix. This can be seen as a bug
or at least it is very much unexpected feature. System administrator may
leave backup files all over the place because of her text editor and
hence cause Wicd to execute two versions of some scripts.

Generally in Debian such scripts are run with run-parts program which
allows very limited characters to exist in file names. Run-parts doesn't
run backup files with ~ suffix.

I wonder if it is possible to use run-parts with Debian's wicd (?).
