Hi, I'm sorry to keep bothering the release team, but there seems to be one new issue that has come up in the puppet package that really should be fixed for Squeeze, I really hope its the last. Basically the puppet that is currently in Squeeze is supposed to support a language feature called "parameterized classes", these are in use by popular puppet modules, their usage is growing rapidly, and is a documented language feature. Unfortunately, the version that we have in Squeeze is broken in this regard, not supporting this is a pretty big hit for the package in Squeeze, as the problems it uncovers are non-trivial inheritance issues that are quite frustrating to debug. This is upstream bug #4534 [1] that was fixed in 2.6.3. We've got 2.6.2 in Squeeze, with various cherry-picked fixes from 2.6.3, but this is one we are missing. I've cherry-picked the fix for this[2], and it works well, not exposing the bug any longer. If I could bother you, hopefully one last time, to allow this fix into Squeeze by doing an unblock puppet/2.6.2-4 it would be really appreciated. hopefully this will be the last you hear from me, thanks again!
