Right. I was going to reply with that bug pointer here. It is an example of something that newer upstream versions cope with without failing. So is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756367 which I have just confirmed is still a bug with 5.7.1, but not with 6.5.5 (There was a request earlier in this thread for actual issues with 5.7.1, that are fixed in newre releases, IIRC) I added a note in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574947 on that packaging update.
