I've provided the maintainer and upstream with a patch to skip the
incomplete IPv6 address. But the maintainer is waiting for feedback
from upstream, and this seem to take forever. I suspect we should
figure out how to handle this on our own.

So, what do you believe we should do? I suggest we upload our own
version to our repository, hope we pick a version number that is smaller
than the next upload to unstable with a fix and that the maintainer or
upstream provide a fix for this next upload to unstable. Wait a bit
more is of course another option, but we really should get a fix in
place soon. Any other suggestions?
