Hi Didier,

I did discover this fact some days ago when looking into the issue, yes.

As described in my blogpost (which wasn't intended as a rant, but more
as a call for enlightment) I tried allready to trace the problem down,
but was at a point where I got stuck.

Looking again into it today in the morning I stumbled upon LP
#1054495[1] with an attached debdiff[2], which seems worth to give a
try. Maybe I'll find time today to try that patch. I'll keep you updated.

With kind regards, Jan.
