Hi Peter,
while looking into an issue (on Ubuntu) I found that you solved it for SuSe
a long time ago in [1] via [2].
That change seems to be carried forward since, with the last revision being
[3].

I wondered if it was tried to bring the change upstream?
I didn't find any reference, but this is from long ago so I hoped you might
know some more context.
Was it discussed, nack-ed for a reason or is there anything else why this
isn't upstream after all the years?
Before adopting your or a similar change it would be nice to get that
context info.

P.S. This is the mail to Peter with the bug on CC, to "log" it there.
