Any chances of getting this fixed before the LTS “support” ends?

I notice that quantal is already without this patch. So I wonder, was it
dropped because some other change made it unneccessary, or was it
dropped simply because it broke more than it fixed. If the latter, then
please drop the patch for precise as well, and publish an update. If the
former, then please identify that change and backport it.

I do hope that devs have some secret location where they can find out
about why this change to the series file happened. Looking at the debian
changelog in the package sources, I see no mention of the patch at all.
None of the changes between precise and quantal mentions anything close
to this patch. But perhaps devs have the means to figure out the
rationale here.

While you are at it, you might as well get rid of that patch completely.
Having a patch in the debian patches directory but its line commented
out in the series is very confusing, I think. If you want to keep old
stuff around, use a proper VCS please.
