The issue is fixed upstream, but its none-trivial to backport those
changes, because upstream did last minute changes to the API ... the
easiest solution from here seems to be a full backport, but that also
puts more risks on us and requires a SONAME transition in a SRU (ouch!).

Current plan is: once I have 0.7 with soname bump in jaunty i will
provide backport and then based on feedback consider a SRU for that.
