well, it was like this: I looked quickly at the patch and wasn't able to understand it, to see what happens when various special characters are given to each of the changed macros. Thus I thought it is non-trivial, and thus there is a space for an oversight. So I proposed to fix the reported bug (to accept the patch from debian) and leave the rest after the releasse. It was probably a mistake that I haven't tried harder to review the patch, sorry. Stepan
