Bug#680484: closed by Andreas Tille <tille at debian.org> (Bug#680484: fixed in scotch 5.1.12b.dfsg-2)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Jonathan,

I do not claim responsibility for the very simple patch which was
actually done by Christophe Trophime but I could easily do the
following:

  1. Branch scotch 5.1.12b.dfsg-1.1 and apply Christophe's changes
     to fix the name clash issue
  2. Upload 5.1.12b.dfsg-1.2 to testing-proposed-uploads

I have no idea how hard the handling of testing-proposed-uploads might
be for the release team.  So I could imagine an alternative plan to
unblock 5.1.12b.dfsg-2 which has admittedly more changes than acceptable
in freeze time (sorry, I did not realised this problem in July last year
- that's my fault) but all in all enabling hardening should not cause
real trouble.  In case release team might consider the later plan I'd
volunteer to create the necessary diffs for an unblock request - just
tell me what plan you prefer and I will do this.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
