Attn: base-files maintainer? [Was: sshd from user account - env issues]

Running SSHD from the user account like this basically works - I can ssh
into the machine, but the env vars are not quite right.

For example, local bash:
TEMP=/tmp
temp=C:\Users\build\AppData\Local\Temp
TMP=/tmp
tmp=C:\Users\build\AppData\Local\Temp

SSH session:
temp=
TEMP=/tmp
tmp=
TMP=/tmp

Try installing the test version of the base-files package (4.1-2). There was a thread six months ago or so where it was decided that setting vars in both upcase and lowercase was a bad idea (breaks .net applications, for one thing, and confuses many others). This change was implemented in base-files as a test, but has never been promoted.
