Hi, As much as I would appreciate this being solved in Jessie, I have now documented Daniel's (i.e. dkg's) work around in the release-notes under "Issues to be aware of for Jessie". Note that the website might be 4-6 hours before it generates the new version, so you might not see it yet in the live version. Should you find/device a patch for it in time for Jessie, I am happy to review it from an RT PoV.
