Hiya,

We're shipping this patch now. Please, unless there is a problem with
it (explicitly *not* the operational behaviour --- that is intentional), try to
keep discussion to the upstream bug now.

Yes, this has been discussed upstream. This behaviour happens even
without our patch, so there is no regression over upstream behaviour
by shipping it.

That's right. We just change the base directory.
