Comment 3 for bug 1733834

Hi sles,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I appreciate the quality of this bug report and I'm sure it'll be helpful to others experiencing the same issue.

I think you already did the right thing by engaging with upstream on this as in [1].
I can only encourage to go on with that path or one will end up with an un-maintainable delta.

This sounds like an upstream bug to me. If this is confirmed as an upstream bug, the best route to getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case would be to pull and backport fixes once available there. Otherwise, I'm not sure what we can do directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem without the high risk of getting incompatible.

If you do end up filing an upstream bug, please link to it from here. Although as I find in [1] there isn't a real bug tracker - so the ML links you had are likely all we get.
You might update here once one of them resolve.

You might also want to report to Debian as well to make them aware and link that bug here - but they very likely would have the same position on this.
