Please note that we are very resistant in applying such patches
ourselves, as we'd have to maintain them forever. It's a lot better to
engage in a discussion with upstream, and at least file an upstream bug
with the patch as well, so that it can eventually go there.

Also, the patch is not complete, as it doesn't update the manpage
accordingly. Doing so will also invalidate all existing translations of
the manpages, all these problems that you have if you do downstream
patches.

So to be frank, I don't expect this to be applied anytime soon. I
subscribed ubuntu-sponsors, though, perhaps someone has a better
connection to gzip upstream.
