This is a very high-profile application. Note that it was removed from Testing but not from Unstable. Additionally, it's seeded in Ubuntu Studio. We should do whatever we can to keep it from being removed, including updating it and applying the patch.

To fix this, the package needs to be first updated to 3.1.3 (or later), and then have that patch applied.
