Comment 11 for bug 1767283

I backported the changes which had a lot of extra noise that had to be dropped.
Now a build is ready in ppa [1]

I haven't actually read the patch too much yet but found the build to not solve the issues for me on the example from the man page - so I started taking a deeper look.
It really works with the newer upstream version, so the patch needs a backport plus soem adaption to work in Bionic.

I found a snippet that I missed on the backport (ugly :-/) a better version built now and works for me. Due to the complexity thou and my unfamiliarity with the code I'd ask for some extra testing thou.

I'm proposing an SRU-MP but really any extra check is welcome.
