This shouldn't be needed, #175480 contains a short patch that seems to 
apply against the package in woody.


@Marco:

Herbert stated in #175480 that this problem was "tripping a lot of 
people running 2.4.18 and later".

Is there any problem why an upload of ppp with the patch from #175480
to stable-proposed-updates would cause problems?
