Since the decision was made that no, it won't be touched for jessie, no,
I frankly do not follow.

I'm no native English speaker/writer, so I try to stick to non

really don't follow you there either.

No, I didn't write that either. Please stop making up stuff. It won't be
considered for jessie, that's all.

To be crystal clear: no, this patch needs to be considered, reviewed,
whatever, and not randomly uploaded to experimental. Feel free to ping
this bug report once jessie is released.
