Thanks Otto, I think it is right to bring this to more attention as I've seen
various people and builds stumble over it already.
Not sure what the general discussion/status on this is, but for myself
I have tracked it down starting from one of my builds failing to this
commit [1] that has to land into debhelper to resolve it.
