I'm currently waiting for the upstream maintainer fixing this issue,
hoping that he will work on this soon.
If he provides a patch, I'd upload a fixed package to sid and buster
and stretch.

To say the truth, I didn't have jessie on my focus for this issue, at
least since it is tagged "minor issue".

If you want to work on this issue, I'd prefer got get a patch against
sid and then backport the patch to the older releases, since upstream
fixed several issues and vulnerabilities in recent versions, while
starting with jessie looks like the wrong direction to me.

But feel free to do so, maybe I can port it to the newer versions :-)

Roland
