I've prepared an NMU for this issue based on my initially posted
patch. See attachment for the full diff of the NMU.
After I've sent this e-mail, I'll upload the NMU to DELAYED/10. Feel
free to tell me if I should delay the NMU for a longer or shorter time
-- or even upload it directly to unstable.
Regards, Axel
