This issue has been addressed.

This issue has not been addressed. As far as I know no progress at all has been made.
If you agree as this patch is a prerequisite for having Kaldi in Debian (which is one of my goals), I would include this patch without having it approved by upstream.
I am confident that they will approve it once they will find time to evaluate it, but I am not confident they will evaluate it very soon.

Bests,
Giulio
