Ok for me. Helps the porters. I though haven't heard anything from Daniel about this so far. > The relevant patch is below.

And I also wouldn't have attributed the patches to myself but to the actual author(s) of the two commits. But as the NMU probably won't be part of the next maintainer-upload and because it is only there to bridge the gap to the next upload for the mipsel porters, it shouldn't be such an issue.
