This package is a build-dependency of gnome-vfs, which in turn is a
build-dependency of many others, so I think that it's important that
this fix is applied.

I uploaded an NMU to delayed/10 directly, since the package hasn't seen
an upload in 10+ years; but please let me know if you prefer me to
cancel it.

.debdiff attached.


Cheers.
