I tend to agree - seems like a fairly minor issue & I don't have a huge
amount of spare time either.  I'll concentrate on getting next upstream
release with the fix uploaded to unstable as soon as possible though -
but I'm not likely to get to backporting this one.

Thanks for the heads-up!

cheers.
