The version 0.9-1 (just uploaded to Debian) fixes this problem.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

yes, but we need a backport for the LTS

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
