This is bug #480014. Sorry for not having followed through on this prior to the lenny release; given the lack of feedback about this issue leading up to release, I guess there aren't a whole lot of alpha users left to worry about it. This is something I think we should get fixed for 5.0.1. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
