The topic had been discussed since Sep. 2005. The history of the patch
(for dvidpfmx not dvipdfm) can be found at

http://cvs.ktug.or.kr/viewcvs/dvipdfmx/src/pdfdoc.c?view=log

But the CVS tag was not applied until the version 20061211. Recently  
(Dec 2006),
while discussing TeXLive 2007, the file was updated again.

I hope the maintainer in Debian would use the recent CVS code.

Best, ChoF.
