Hi,
line 37 in dpkg-reconfigure(8) should be "-a, --all" instead of "--all".
Both work and should imho be mentioned in the man-page.

APT prefers testin
substitute NotAutomatic in Etch+1, since setting
NotAutomatic to yes is equivalent to setting DefaultPriority to 1.
Until NotAutomatic can been dropped, parsing NotAutomatic only when
DefaultPriority is not provided would imho be the right way.

Hi,
please Cc me on answers. I only saw your bug report because I was
looking up bug numbers for debian/changelog (maintaining deborphan is

Hi,
please use deborphan's forward compatible options
--all-packages-pristine and --show-deps-pristine instead of
--all-packages and --show-deps.
The output format of --all-packages will need to change when Debian
replaces sections with tags and the output format

Gregor Thill noted that initscripts/Wheezy does not mount /sys if there
is an according fstab entry with the option noauto, which leads to udev
not starting. He verified this by removing this fstab line a

Bug summary:
Please ignore noauto sysfs entries in fstab. Not mounting sysfs to /sys
if such a line is present in fstab leads to udev not starting.
If this bug is not fixed, this problems will show up after upgrading to
Wheezy on some systems.
