Thanks.

Do you happen to still have the sources (bugtrackers, packaging VCS,
...) of the patches?

I don't think that's the correct way to solve this issue; first it

Thanks!
So to sum it up, -1 works and -2 fails.

Now the next interesting point is that Sesse originally reported this
bug against -1; or maybe it is a different bug? Confusing again :)
