Thank you for confirming this.

Really understandable! Unfortunately it's really too late now to get
this into wheezy (wheezy is planned to be released on 4th or 5th may,
see, [1]).

I suggest, that as soon wheezy is released the new upstream version
can be packaged and uploaded to unstable. Luis? ;-)

It is really appreciated that you reply also on downstream bugreports,
thats great! Thank you very much for your quick followups.

Regards,
Salvatore
