OK, thanks.

Since this isn't a bug in the documented behaviour of pg_wrapper from a user perspective, I'm going to treat this as a new feature ("detect -p in the command line and use it to work out which binary to run") for now, unless someone wants to explain why this interpretation is wrong.

From that perspective, I'm not sure this is suitable for SRU, so it will need to go to the development release first. Unfortunately since the patch also doesn't apply to the version currently in the development release, it is not actionable right now.

If you could update the patch to be applicable to Debian sid, then we could submit the patch there, and Ubuntu will in time receive the update (if you could test/submit against Debian directly, that would be great).

In the meantime I think this bug itself is "pg_wrapper doesn't work when -p is used" and so I'll rename the bug and triage it accordingly.

I'll also see if I can contact Martin, the original author of pg_wrapper (AFAICT) to see if he has any comment.
