Why do you have to stop? You already have one. Keep using it until you

Don't be an ass. There are a lot of people who would say the same of

Interesting. 1.20-1 seemed to be working for me. However, just to be
safe, I've downgraded to 1.19-1 and marked the package "hold".
Can we expect a fixed 1.20-2 shortly? I don't see one in Sid or incoming.
