Instead of applying this patch, you can also build-depend on libeditreadline-dev, which allows to build with libedit while keeping the readline interface.

I could also, presumably, adjust the licence to be GPL2+? The only bit of the code that is GPL2 and isn't my copyright is randverse, which isn't linked against readline.
