By "I've told", what version do you refer exactly?

If you refer to version 1.19.6-19, either it is not working, or if it
is working then it is clearly not enough. If you refer to 1.19.6-20, I
would have to upgrade a spare system from woody to unstable to check.

I would have tagged this "serious" to prevent inclusion in testing,
but as I was using sarge, it was too late for that. Being the huge
step backwards in terms of avoiding questions this is, I really hope
you do something about it before the release.

I don't want to change the severity of this report, but I would
consider this "serious" if it were one of my packages.
