Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen

Ubuntu is currently carrying a non-ideal patch for Bug #323756.

Basically, it would be nice if screen supported a "source" command flag that was "best effort". ie, it would source the file if present, but not throw errors if not.

I was thinking of something in the form of "-source" a la Makefile error silencing, or even something like "source -s /tmp/foo".

I'm going to mark Triaged/Wishlist and assign to myself, as I'll try to get a working patch.
