Strangely, the upstream correspondence that came back from that bug, whilst
being Cc'ed to the BTS, didn't seem to make it in. I'll see what I can do
about injecting it in.

Basically, don't hold your breath.

I'm not over the moon about the Ubuntu patch, but I guess if push comes to
shove, we might have to look at putting that one in.
