I'm sorry for this but, given the feedback received by Cyril's mail to
-bsd, -boot, that seemed to be the simplest option.

I was balanced about working in tasksel to upload with the simple
"move to Recommends" fix but a brief discussion on IRC discouraged me.

The fix is simple, yes....but the work in tasksel's git to create a
wheezy branch starting from 3.14+nmu1, adding the fix to it and upload
was something not trivial and....at the same time I got an RC bug in
one of my packages, one I consider much more important than Gnome in
kFreeBSD. So, my priority changed.

I think that nobody is prevented to fix the issue but I would ask
fixing it *and* dealing with things in tasksel's git, not just with an
NMU.

Things are probably trivial for someone very comfortable with git. I
am not...not enough at least.

And, well, doesn't this issue really fit the definition of
"important"?
