Erm. While I agree that the appropriate fix ought be in Debian finally, I'm not sure that this bug report is not inherently useful. WIth luck, a patch can be prepared, and perhaps tested in Ubuntu prior to deployment in Debian, or provided to Debian directly. Simply redirecting to the BTS is not often a useful way to address these issues.
