AFAIK, nothing did break for me, if that's what you ask, but I'm just
one user and have not performed extensive tests.
The particular change that needs to propagate to etch is this one:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-28) unstable; urgency=low
* Drop the 'noexec' flag from the /dev/shm/ mount point until etch
is released, to avoid breaking dosemu and user-mode-linux. It will
be reintroduced after etch is released. This is related to
bugs #386945 and #386368.
Either 2.86.ds1-36 is allowed in etch, or such fix should be uploaded
for etch-proposed-updates.
