Thanks. At some point it would be nice to find a way to force the choice texts to be unambiguous without overflow, e.g. by prepending or appending a number. But this works as far as it goes and fixes an IMO serious bug, so I've just tidied up the indentation in your patch and added a changelog entry, and will otherwise push it as is. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
