If someone cares deeply about this, the necessary patch is at https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/commits/9a8c0ebbff390555e63b7e203b999b89aabbb86e/raw/. I did not add it to the debian package yet because I considered it a minor issue that I did not want to bug my sponsor with. But if some DD wants to sponsor a new upload right away to get this fixed, I'm happy to update the package in SVN. Otherwise I'll wait for a new upstream version.
