thanks for checking in.

the changes are a bit too intrusive with the new upstream versions- there are
no specific series of patches that fixed it upstream, and the patch (for the
version in squeeze) didn't really work well for me, although others report that
amd64 works fine for them even without the patch, so maybe bug #614404 should
be downgraded to important.

perhaps we should close 617460, as i don't see a fix in the near future...

i might try to upload 1.25.0 when it hits testing to backports.debian.org as a
workaround, for those who need it...


live well,
