Bug Description
Binary package hint: sbackup
Please grant a Feature Freeze exception.
This is necessary as many bugs are being fixed in this upstream incremental bugfix release, in particular:
* removes 'backup upgrade' feature and 'rebase snapshot' feature which can cause *severe* user data loss.
* adds restore utility which provides legacy support using the 0.10.5 lgorithm to access backups created with old versions of this software.
* fixes a very annoying bug introduced in Saucy related to GtkFileChooserB
* fixes for some security related bugs, such as LP: #785512 Backup files are not protected from local user access: make the snapshot directories RWX only by owner and LP: #785495 to make the temp directory RWX only by owner instead of by all.
* many more bug fixes.
This package has been tested thoroughly and contains no flaws. It builds on Trusty, installs and upgrades. Testing was done by means of a PPA and locally, the upstream release is in public use since 09/2013.
Please find attached following documents:
* upstream changelog diff
* full build log on trusty buildd
* install log on trusty
* screenshot of GUI with replaced FileChooserButton
* screenshot of GUI of legacy-restore tool
* upstream release tarball, published at https:/

* debdiff of source package 0.11.6 and package present in trusty (0.11.4)

Great. Ack for the FFe, thank for the detailed explanation and testing.
I'll leave it to the sponsors to perform the review + upload.
