Erm, well, yes. I don’t quite get what you’re trying to ask of me
here, especially why you set the tags (the description in the BTS
that “the bug can only affect squeeze/sid/experimental” also con-
fuses me a little).
The bug does, in fact, exist in the version of mksh shipped with
lenny (but not the one in lenny-backports) but a stable update was
seen as too much effort, considering one has to manually (or with
debconf) set mksh as /bin/sh for it to trigger – and those people
could (or, better expressed as, DEFINITIVELY WANT to) install the
bpo version anyway.
If you think an spu should be done, I’ll backport the fix. I’d
also be grateful for an explanation of what this tagging (of a
fixed bug) achieves (still learning about all the dusty corners
of Debian).
Thanks,

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
