Agreed, that's a nice solution.

Didier, you listed yourself in that change.  Please feel free to join us 
in maintaining ghostscript: Add yourself as uploader and do the change 
yourself.

If you do, then please split into several commits: First actual code 
changes, and then (semi-)automated changes (e.g. using "git dch -a" to 
update changelog).  That way it is much easier to later revert a change 
or cherry-pick across branches.

Alternatively I can proof-read and apply the patch, but will then list 
it as done by me, crediting you with a "thanks" after the trailing bug 
closing hint.


For Wheezy we should probably aim for the uglier but much simpler 
solution.  the "master" branch is not intended for Wheezy, I will use a 
separate "master-wheezy" for that.
