After a bit of reading from the "Debian GNU/Linux FAQ" and the "Debian New Maintainer's Guide" I was able to re-build the packages, by downloading the source from packages.ubuntu.com, making the simple substitution suggested above and then building the binary packages. If anyone's interested I can provide details.

Anyway, I've attached a patch between the old source and the new one. The old one was unpacked with:

$ dpkg-source -x ubuntu-meta_1.30.dsc meta-orig

I've bumped the version number; however, if the Ubuntu folks ignore this and make their own 1.31 version release, anybody applying this patch will likely be in a small degree of trouble.

NOTE: I make no guarantees about this patch, I can only verify it works on my Edgy install.
