This is there for some time already, longer then I have been touching
this package, but for some reason it is not enabled to use the system
version neither, I think there is some bug.

If I just need the packages for myself, then I create a local version
that might be uploaded as soon as the pakage has cleared the NEW
pipeline.
Anyway, I'll ping the FTP-master that rejected it the first time.
