Michael already did all the hard work of figuring out a patch. I reviewed it
and suggested he send it upstream, which he did, and got further comments from
the upstream maintainer. Michael posted an updated patch to the upstream
issue.

I think it is worth fixing for Quantal, although IIRC, Michael has a
workaround for software-center. In any case, since you targeted the bug task
to quantal-updates, I'll prepare a patch for quantal-proposed (testing it
now).
