Oh, sorry; I only checked locally, so on stable.

Arturo, given the issue is fixed in unstable and testing already, are
you fine with letting jessie in its current state? It looks to me that
this is only a small annoyance, people can still remove this package if
they want to spare a few kBs. I'm also not sure this warrants an update
in stable (we tend to only fix serious or important bugs there).
