Hi Dan,
that looks like something that is ripe for fixing upstream.
Could you please follow the instructions on
http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html for submitting
patches to the kernel-upstream.
I think the best place to send it would be:
Paul Gortmaker <p_gortmaker@yahoo.com>,
Andrew Morton <akpm@osd.org>, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
And pleace CC this bug, 322487@bugs.debian.org.
Alternatively, please make a patch, follow the sign-off
procedure detailed in the URL above and send it here,
I will forward it on for you.
In the mean time I am marking this as +wontfix to signifiy
that it isn't really appropriate for debian to be carrying
patches like this that aren't included upstream.
