And when I look at other wireless-enabled things, the ratio for support for TLS1.2-only might be even worse and less quick to change.

recurring problem in Mozilla's build process, it fails because SHELL is not set in the environment. You can work around that by passing --preserve-envvar=SHELL to debuild.

, severity=serious would be in order, right? Maybe, but I don't think it's worth to fix such bugs in stable. Since dpkg calls maintainer scripts via execvp(3), the missing shebang does not really have bad consequences as they end up being run by /bin/sh anyway. Cheers, Sven
