I can confirm that this continues to be the case. i ran into it back in January, and i've seen no updates to the bzr repo since then either. In the absence of a public Vcs that tracks debian packaging for bash, i've gone ahead and generated one that i'd feel comfortable contributing to with: gbp import-dscs --debsnaps bash I also pushed the resulting repository to salsa at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bash so hopefully other people will take a look at it and consider working with it from there. This is obviously unofficial -- i don't have the bandwidth to be the debian maintainer for bash, and even if i did, i'm not interested in hijacking the package away from Matthias. But looking at the packaging, it looks like there are potentially several cleanup/simplification steps that could be taken, and it could be useful to have a place to coordinate that kind of work. I've pushed the branch fix-747400 to the salsa repo as an example of how we might do a bit of packaging collaboration. Doko, I'd be happy if you see this as something you can use too. Maybe it'll make it easier to get more debian packaging contributions for bash itself! But if you prefer to coordinate it somewhere/somehow else, please point the Vcs-* fields at that location and i'll be happy to use it instead. All the best, --dkg
