Well, firstly, we're talking about the contents of a footnote here, so
the text is not normative.  Thus I guess the authoritative version is
the implementation in dak.

In terms of preparing your patch, I would like to suggest that you give
the perl first and then maybe say "which is roughly equivalent to ..."
and then include your English.
