Hi!

/usr/bin/finger converts 8bit characters to M-x when fingering locally,
 or from remote hosts.

Here is a patch - also sent to Tobias (the netstd-package maintainer).
Keep up the good work, debian looks good .)

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
