For the purpose of better tracking this, I think we need a new bug, at
least I'm lost in #827010 which is said to be fixed in debian-edu-config
1.901, but only partially it seems. (And not at all in jessie.)

We first need to fix this new bug in unstable and the cherry-pick/backport
this fix into jessie (and maybe/probably wheezy…) and to do the latter, we
need a bug report. (And a bug report also helps fixing this in sid.)

Let's fix sid and jessie first and then see, if someone has the time and
energy to get this fix into wheezy too…
