There is a patch in

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239670

I applied and tested the patch on mipsel during the BSP on Apr. 18.  I
talked to lamont on irc that weekend but so far no upload of said
patch.

I'm uploading an NMU for said patch to

http://mentors.debian.net/

    deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free

Feel free to talk lamont into doing a MU, sponsor it or NMU the patch
yourself. If you get the RC bug out of the way I'm willing to check
some of the other patches sitting there for years, like the security
bug in lomount.
