This is actually a compiler bug fixed in gcc-snapshot:

I suppose with this and https://bugs.launchpad.net/dash/+bug/348872
it doesn’t make sense to drop the -ubuntu1 delta altogether.

The debconf stuff should be removed unless karmic fixes the issues
when running with mksh as /bin/sh I had on my hardy PC at work,
and the 「-combine」 option to mksh/Build.sh uses the gcc options
「-fwhole-program --combine」 which trigger the aforementioned
bug in certain versions of gcc.

Is it desirable if I make a package for karmic based on the Debian
sid one, test it in a chroot, and submit it (where/how)?
