Hi Holger,

I'm not convinced this is the right way to proceed with this bug. I'm
CCing d-d@l.d.o to get more advices, but I'd prefer to keep the bug open
for tracking and release Wheezy with it open rather than hide it because
one have a workaround.

Also the fact the N-M is completely buggy does not mean we should hide
its bugs, this will not help at all. We'd rather keep them open and ask
hacker for help.

Cheers,
