Will be considered for the next upload (whenever it will be). I will probably use Debian versions for the versioned dependencies, as I prefer not to track Ubuntu releases there, but other than that, the patch will surely be used almost entirely. Will probably consider also splitting libasprintf so that multi-arch stuff is really over and I don't have to worry about it anymore.
