Marking the bug as forwarded. I'll think deeper to decide whether
there is enough value added by including that patch in Debian's 3.3.2
while it is quite certain that it will be in 3.3.3.

Steve (put your Ubuntu hat on), maybe that would help not having this
bug in jaunty as I think that you guys are freezing things to prepare
the release, right?
