gnunet has an RC bug in lenny that is fixed in sid: #506264
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506264>
This bug is fixed by a simple change to a postinst script, as in the
attached patch.
I'm CC:ing my AM, to make sure he knows what I'm up to, and Adeodato, with
whom I discussed this on #debian-release. I believe this is a sensible
thing to put into t-p-u and into testing. I'm not entirely sure of the
package version number and changelog entry; I'd appreciate Adeodato's
input on that.
