Good question. Copying Mark.

I suspect it will be easier all around if we did take it. There are a
lot of fixes in here and it is hard to know which ones any given user
might need or run into. There isn't any real feature work, just various
fixes for new glibc calls or existing code. The failure modes for
pseudo are problematic for end users who wouldn't understand many of
them. The realpath/proc fixes are the most invasive piece.

I would suggest we wait a little bit before taking it, just so we can
test things with master and ensure there is are no regressions. 

You would need to take the dpkg ADMINDIR change as well as the pseudo
changes won't work without that.

I'm open to other thoughts either way...

Cheers,

Richard
