Hello,
We would like to upload a fixed version of brltty to squeeze and get
the debian installer rebuilt: when configuring the use of a braille
device during installation, in some syntax cases, braille support gets
broken at reboot, which is really a problem for our blind users. The
documentation only provides the syntax which works, but the non-working
syntaxes are also well-known and should work, so users tend to use it by
default.
The attached patch is the fix which is now well-tested in sid.
