Well, this conforms to the tradition in Debian to discuss issues
before applying solutions and that's fine.

This, even if my own opinion is to puch the compliance with other su
implementations and thus fix the bug.

So, OK for the "open discussion" item.

Besides this, putting myself in the skin of an unskilled developer, I
think that your mail is pretty clear *and short enough* to be OK for
publication.


PS: I suggest the mail to be CC'ed to maintainers of packages we know
are affected., especially Junichi for pbuilder.
