Sorry about that Gregor, apparently we were working on this at the same time.
I also sent you an email with my patch, you may close it since it is a duplicate of the bug you just opened yourself.

No problem, I've merged the two Debian bugs and will use your patch,
it's nicer than my quick attempt.
