Thanks Sevag for your report. Updates to existing stable or oldstable
Debian releases are done to fix individual bugs, trying to import the
minimal changes needed to fix the bug and weighting the regression
potential of the update. This is explained in more detail in [1].
According to upstream [2] should fix this issue. The patch seems to be
fairly simple and self-contained, so it could qualify for a stable
update. I can prepare a patched version of the package, but I'll need
some feedback from you on how the patches package actually behaves.
Would you be interested in supporting the update process in this way?
Thank you,
Paride
