We don't fix all bugs in stable releases, only highly important ones.
Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When for more
information.

No, the "-nl" part already ensures that the comparison will be false
if the version is empty, so the problem must be something else. And
since the entire code disappeared in intrepid, it's irrelevant for any
release later than hardy, and also it does not affect everyone, but
looks like a corner case.

If we get to the root cause of the problem, then we can do something
about it, but above change is a no-op, I'm afraid.

Thanks,

Martin
