I have no other changes planned targeted Wheezy.  I dare not include any 
non-RC bugfixes, and would also prefer the previously proposed two-line 
patch for this one to keep burden of Release Managers to a minimum.  
That's why I request that you do the talking when insisting on the more 
elegant but also larger fix.

If anyone disagrees and want more changes included for Wheezy, now is 
the time (I'll wait another day to prepare the package).
