Did you receive any answer from upstream about this patch? I'd love to
see this fixed for etch, and since I've using modified packages for some
months now without trouble, I'd say it's right and safe to upload, and
there is still time to revert before the freeze if some user experiences
trouble with it (which I doubt).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
