I agree, specially because the documentation was correct, and it worked just because of a bug in implementation >Again, I understand your frustration, but I think the proper fix is at >the level where it would be faster to deploy than further discussion, >very trivial to do and with plenty of test cases. I'm attaching the patch I did try to craft some minutes ago, but in the meanwhile, I think bumping severity to RC is something needed, because even if not (yet) enforced by policy, breaking autopkgtests in such a way is source of troubles. (and maybe the package now is just completely broken, not just autopkgtests) (I'm still not a perl man, I'm not sure I did it correctly, and moreover I had trobles in doing the string concatenation) G.
