Martin, thank you for your comment. The question is now how to deal with this regression. One way is of course to reintroduce the patch from bug 477755 (not sure if it still applies cleanly). The other option that seems to be a more general solution is the one offered by natspec. I'm currently in the process of working with Andrew Shadoura to try and get the libnatspec package into Debian.
I would think the following is the best course of action.
1) reintroduce (an adapted) patch from bug 477755 for lucid. don't close this ticket.
2) evaluate libnatspec for maverick

What do you think? Can you take care of part 1)?
