Sorry for the delay -- it's been a pretty crazy week. Thanks for pulling this together; at first glance it seems reasonable, so I'll go ahead and submit it to upstream's gerrit instance on your behalf. (It can get some more review there, then get merged to master and pulled back onto the 1.6 branch, though we'll probably pick it into Debian earlier, of course.) -Ben
