In groovy the code for vte-keep-FD patch has been refactored to support new upstream code.
However, I think it's the time we plan to remove this next cycle, given that gdebi is the only project using it so far [1], and that upstream already suggested a better way to do it [2]. So, if someone is still interested in fixing gdebi to address this, please act as otherwise it's very likely that next versions of vte will break it.
