So it should be functional in testing (wheezy) but, alas, not in the current stable release (squeeze). For ubuntu, i think the fixed packages should be available from "nattie narwhal" forward, but i haven't tested them directly. For reference, the bug report in debian is at: http://bugs.debian.org/607411 Regards, --dkg
