Dear Rogério,

Thanks for all your work on this. I was actually not actually aware of
this bug until now so apologies for not helping out before.
May I ask that you reference this bug in a "Comment:" in debian/
copyright and, if possible, summarise the discussion? If you could
explicitly quote Ole (especially "it is optional") then that would
clear it up for me unless I'm missing something obvious.
This could potentially avoid some second-guessing and other time-
sapping hermeneutics that might misinterpret upstream's intentions in
the future.

(As an adjunct remark, I would be very hesitant in making any inference
whatsover from (my?) drive-thru comments on IRC.)
Best wishes,
