Hi,
I dared to CC Kern... maybe he can enlighten us?

I didn't really dig into the issue itself, so I can't tell if it has been
removed. I am refering to this post
from Landon Fuller:
http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2008-08/msg00634.html
It is all about this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00144.html
Wether or not the package is compiled with tls support is really up to the
maintainer, but in Debian Etch it was
(The version used in Sarge did not have tls support).
My understanding was, that Kern changed the Bacula code to solve the problem.
I think a lot of people are using the Debian packages, either in Debian or in
Ubuntu, and this could really
become annoying, if unnecessary.
