No problem, thanks for looking into this issue further.

Well, I still don't have upload permissions in Ubuntu :)

It seems you've already subscribed ubuntu-sru to the bug, thanks.

I've now created a debdiff for precise -> precise-proposed which
should fix this issue and be ready for an upload (attached).

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates there might
be some other steps necessary to actually get this uploaded; maybe
marking the bug as Fixed (in raring) and/or updating the description
and/or subscribing ubuntu-sponsors is also necessary? - So if you
could point someone who can actually get this patch into precise to
his bug that would be great :)


Cheers,
gregor
