To follow up on myself (I seem to do that a lot) see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=109709. The problem that this patch tries to fix is sort of real (but see below), but the patch is plain wrong. Yes it fixes that issue, but introduces this new bug.

Which one is more serious? I think this bug is more serious and the patch should be (maybe partially) reverted. The original bug can be avoided (I think) by simply using the -n switch, so it's even a solution to a non-problem. This bug has no workaround.
