Just to be sure: this patch is *not* in the released 1.0.1 tarball (and it will be included in the next released version), is that correct? Anyhow, with a bit of hackery in our building process, I'm able to prepare Debian packages without download anything from the net: thanks a lot for your support throughout all the process!!
