Comment 17 for bug 921829

Thanks everyone for your work on this.

I took the liberty of fixing some things in the debdiff in comment 16:
 - ran 'update-maintainer' to satisfy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField
 - re-indented some of the changelog entry bits (please wrap at 80 chars per line)
 - applied the patch from git without modifications (the patch in the debdiff was reindented
   which made python unhappy - the resulting package did not even install)
