I just noticed my patch's bedaviour is actually different to the behaviour of the debian version.
for my diff the man page should actually say
-q timeout
after end-of-file on stdin, timeout the connection after
timeout seconds. A timeout of 0 will close the connection after
reading all pending data.
debian version would be:
-q after EOF on stdin, wait the specified number of seconds and then quit.
If seconds is negative, wait forever.
They implemented it using
signal(SIGALRM, quit);
alarm(timeout);
I have no preference, since I just care for the -q 0 case.
