I think you've mixed things up a little here; less is Ubuntu-patched (for M-A: foreign, as you say), but man-db isn't, so man-db will be auto-synced. > The other option would be to remove the Breaks entirely and decide > it's not that important. This is what I've gone for. If I have to choose between relatively minor display bugs and apt removing less for some set of users (cf. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695361#73), I'll take the former. Still, Aníbal: I'd appreciate it if you could upload less 458 ASAP, to minimise the exposure of users to the aforementioned display bug.
