We try to stay in sync with Debian, applying our changes on top of their packages. Currently Debian has: autofs | 5.1.6-4 | unstable And Ubuntu has: autofs | 5.1.6-4ubuntu1 | hirsute If Debian grabs 5.1.7, then we can immediately rebase our changes, including any patches, on top of that. Going ahead of Debian is also possible, but less desirable. >From what I understood, 5.1.7 will not have these patches you mentioned, right? I think the best way forward is a bug in launchpad asking to test the patches (that apply on top of 5.1.7) that allow using the -Bsymbolic flag again. I can file that once the patches are published, I'd just need a ping to let me know they are up.
