Either solution is fine with me. It's probably a bit nicer to not have to maintain a source code patch, so I'd lean toward #2 as well. I'll test out the patch tomorrow. > I think the second option is better for Debian, but needs testing, a lot of > testing to make sure corner cases work.

I agree that this not an RC bug and probably isn't worth getting into jessie. -- Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
