I wonder why...
If you don't know what the difference is, why are you bugging him to push it to testing?

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Here you are changes between 1.8 and 1.5 from changelog:
rootsh (1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Solve goddamn escaping errors in postinst, again!
-- Faheem Pervez <trippin1@gmail.com> Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:11:05 +0000
rootsh (1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Make launchsh script show HildonBanner
* Fix quoting errors in postinst
* Use "deprecated". Thanks timeless.
-- Faheem Pervez <trippin1@gmail.com> Sun, 1 Nov 2009 16:39:28 +0000
rootsh (1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix uninstall issue as reported by both X-Fade and robbie.
* Set HISTSIZE to workaround MB#5896 (thanks lma!).
* Get postinst script to escape the '$' in "$1".
* Depreciate "rootsh". As mikkov pointed out, it is too much of a security risk.

Qwerty12 was one of the greatest maemo5 hackers that ever there was. However he had a bad case of autism and was unable to take anymore disappointment from Nokia WRT failing to deliver on any of the n900 promise.
He went nuts and released a final version of 'headset control' for controlling the media player from the headset button, inside the binary was a long angry, angry speech. He never released the source code or ever came back. Which is a shame as he was so damn talented and he had almost cracked completely controlling the media player from the headset button.
His disappearance from the maemo scene was the equivalent of Nicolai Tesla & Frank Zappa dying before their time, they still had so much to give.
In fact every year I hold the 'qwerty12 memorial fund memorial day' and I have my n900 recite burns's 'a mans a man for aw that' through espeak while I recall happy memories of the qwerty12 memorial fund.
