Dear Release Team,
Maxima has an RC bug in squeeze (#591862). Unfortunately, the fix for
that bug was made along with a new upstream release. I have just made
a request to the maintainer to handle this issue[1]. However, in the
mean while, I was wondering if there would be any objections if I
proposed a DELAYED/7 upload to testing-proposed-updates to fix this
bug, since this is an RC bug which has been open for quite a while.
I attach a proposed patch. Should you be comfortable with this, I
shall build the package in a squeeze chroot and uplod it to
testing-proposed-updates after seven days.
Thank you.
Kumar

<netgod> And once Diziet/CQ make the formal announcment that LSA
sucks, we can even reduce the Crisis Level rating and move
on to linuxfoundation.org.
