FYI I think there's a fix for this (or atleast something similar) in
the remaining ubuntu delta for this package. As already mentioned
would be useful to investigate the remaining delta and pull in
the useful parts. This is however not a new issue and should
already affect the version of the package in Debian Jessie/Stable.
