Could you post a URL to that svn repository? (I can't find it)

There seems to be another bug that I found:
Folders that contain "()" aren't removed by the current script in unstable.
Maybe the new script fixes it but I can't test the new one since I can't find it.
I also don't understand why that change to the code was done. I took a
look at the Debian changelog but the comment:
>  * bootclean: Adapt from old bootclean.sh; handle return status more
>    carefully; print diagnostic messages on failures; eliminate use of
>    subshells; add comments; improve deletion code
didn't help me much. You should explain what bug was fixed.
(I think you mean speed improvement, but I'm not sure)
