Comment 11 for bug 221007

Pietro, thanks, that looks ok. I didn't mean to be harsh, just explaining that we can't/shouldn't just fix stuff in Ubuntu and sit on the patches forever. Thus we *need* to find solutions which are generic enough to be palatable for our upstreams (debian and the original authors), otherwise we'll just drown in our patches and can't do anything else any more than to keep porting them to new releases. At the very least we should create a Debian bug and send the patch there.

For aspiring Ubuntu developers I'd expect them to learn how to do this themselves, but I take it that this just was a "drive-by patch" and you don't want to be bothered with learning all the workflows around it. I'll send it to Debian myself then.

Uploaded, thank you!
