Thanks for following up on my bug report...

Well, as I said in my original bug report: please apply my patch to the
Debian package and forward my wishlist bug report upstream.

If you don't want the Debian package to diverge from the upstream
behavior, please, at least, forward my wishlist bug report (with my
patch) upstream!
This could speed up the upstream patch adoption process, I guess...

This is indeed what I am doing, but it is a bit inconvenient, since my
modifications will have to be re-adapted each time the default
templates change (if ever).
That's why I thought that such a harmless modification should be
integrated into the Debian package and even more importantly into the
upstream project.
