what?!?! no, not again. This is not going to happen again! A package
is going to be removed from potato because it doesn't work under some
special conditions? I have read 52132, and if I understood it
correctly, this happens when automounting mounts on automounted
mounts. I admit it's useful (I used to do it) but it's also
explicitly calling for trouble. In the end I settled for
automounting everything under /amnt and making symlinks, in
particular, I ended up with /amnt/foo/bar -> /amnt/bar.
Justin, I don't know about the bug submitter, but I'd be satisfied
if this bug was properly documented (hint: README.Debian)
Re: 55030, IIRC, there's a patch in the bug report and/or a good
explaination why this is a bug with a solution attached. Is there
any problem with it?
