I did, but I was a complete n00b back then, and I didn't argue my case very
hard. I don't think GNU took me seriously at all.
The patch won't apply to the newer coreutils, or whatever it's called now, and
I never have gotten around to fixing it. I played with dpkg-divert instead.
It's handy though. I miss it when I work on other people's machines. :(
