hm, i am a bit unsure that "cosmetics" is a good justification, but the
truth is that we haven't modified the sources for the wireguard kernel
module for ages -- so the version that we're running really is identical
to the upstream version, and probably should be reported as such.
I'm uploading 0.0.20180904-2 with this change -- but i've implemented it
slightly differently than you proposed:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wireguard/commit/c02ff8cd1cfa4c08ca593fbc06ecca8074a2c472
Let me know if there are any other problems! I appreciate your bringing
this up.

PS in the future, when supplying diffs, i recommend using the "unified"
diff format (diff -u) instead of "normal" -- unified is a lot easier
to read, and is really the most widely-used standard in the F/LOSS
community.
