#729934 will indeed by fixed by the next upload/ binNMU, thanks to the

I'm still debugging the 4addr regression mentioned in my previous mail,
given the rather unfortunate approach to reproduce it, testing takes
about a week for each iteration (unless it fails early by chance, so
far I've seen time to failure up to 3-4 days, even though it often
within hours). Replacing one bug with another doesn't sound like a good
tradeoff to me.
