Great. Ack for the FFe, thank for the detailed explanation and testing.

Title:
  New upstream bugfix release 0.11.6

Status in “sbackup” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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 GtkFileChooserButton (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/159413/gtkfilechooserbutton-select-folder-mode-returns-no-path).
  * 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://launchpad.net/sbackup/0.11/0.11.6/+download/sbackup_0.11.6.tar.gz
  * source package version 0.11.6
  * debdiff of source package 0.11.6 and package present in trusty (0.11.4)
