I've implemented this feature (making it configurable with an option) and submitted it to upstream ML [1], but the only feedback I got from the developers was negative, apparently because this functionality is Linux-specific (which it only is because no other OS implements the relevant RFC).
Later I've submitted a version of the patch without the option [2], hoping that would make it more acceptable to upstream, but received no feedback whatsoever. Would it be conceivable for Debian to include either of these patches in its packages? I believe they are quite simple and non-invasive (especially the second version - I can understand that adding new options over what upstream has might be undesirable) and very unlikely to cause any issues.
