Maybe. I have the problem and I posted a URL where a debian user reported the 
same bug.

If you have a /usr/share/default.style, then you placed it there on your own. 
This definetly is not the right place for this file. It should be located below 
/usr/share/osm2pgsql and the binary should read it from there without needing 
the -S switch.

The bug even already existed on trac. I just had to add my patch there.

Doesn't change anything. I had a look at the SVN server and the Makefile.am, 
available there, still has the bug described here.

There is one thing, I don't understand: Why does noone seem to be interested in 
this bug? It's a simple change. Two patches exists. One older version and the 
new version, I've attached.

Is one of the developers of osm2pgsql reading this mailing list?

Yours
