Comment 5 for bug 546154

I reported this to the upstream project and they have applied a bug-fix and released version 1.6.2 that fixes this. Unfortunately for us the new 1.6.2 source package also includes a template debian/ directory with example files and incomplete entries for the key files like control.

Therefore I don't think it is feasible to simply refresh from upstream as it stands right now. I'm emailing the upstream author with this concern with the hope they might drop the incomplete debian/ packaging for now.

In the meantime I'm attaching a patch containing the source-code fix for this issue.
