This bug applies to a version of bison that is now over 13 years old.
Even though I did not come up with a comprehensive solution, everyone
who had experienced the problem would have worked around it manually
over a decade ago. Versions of bison 2.0-1 and on cannot cause the
dangling alternative, so it is likely that no Debian users have
personally experienced this bug in the past 10 years. So I am marking
it as done.
