is there a reason why this improved patch should not be applied to SVN
as well as to the Debian package of vpnc? Corrected for fuzz, that would
be

What do you mean "remove" the script from vpnc - how would routes pushed
from the concentrator be configured on the client without this script?


>From my point of view, vpnc without this patch is severely broken - it's
not just "not working", it also leaves networking in a non-working state
after it has been terminated regularly. Ubuntu managed to release with
the version currently in Debian, which causes some trouble to support,
and I'd like to make sure that the version in Debian at least works on
Debian when Ubuntu syncs for their upcoming LTS release.
