Comment 2 for bug 612900

I'm afraid I don't understand enough of the language GIBRAN CHALITA MANZUR wrote in. Is he suggesting that the problem has been solved in a new upstream release? Or I is he asking if it still exists?

I don't want to litter my box with unpackaged binaries (been in that mess before) so does anyone know enough about making .debs to know if simply putting the debian directory out of the current source package into the updated source tree is going to work? I have a feeling it's harder than that.
