Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the patch.  I have prepared a package for upload.  I
didn't see any problems with piuparts with the new package, but in the
interest of full disclosure, I also couldn't reproduce the piuparts
failure with 0.8.1-2.  (Perhaps you could share the invocation you used
to identify the problem?)

In any event, I think the change is good and am planning to upload,
provided there are no concerns from the Debian Hams.

Cheers,
tony
