 There are several questions raised by this upload:

## DP: Diff between 4.0.3 and CVS HEAD (checked out on 2008/06/01).
 -) Was this pull from upstream cvs discussed with upstream developers?
I am asking this explicitly with respect to the stability of that
snapshot and the upcoming lenny release.

 -) How much of a help is this new feature with respect to the
regressions it introduces (both already known one (#484647, #485532,
#485925) and maybe others not yet noticed)?

 I took a look at the CVS, last commit was last year february. That can
mean several things, but most propably: Unfinished work lying around
which can mean several stranger breakages, otherwise I would have
expected a release in the meantime.

 So I really would like to know how much you've invested into scanning
those ~5k lines about their stability and release saveness for the
upcoming lenny release? screen unfortunately is not a joe random package
and I rather like to raise the concerns now instead of stumbling into
more serious problems later.
 
 Thanks in advance for your answers,
Rhonda
