Comment 2 for bug 264124

Applied the patch from Jay. There is no patch system currently in the package, but this is a really simple single patch, so I decided not to add a patch system at this point. Instead I'd like to wait until there is a second patch that needs applying, and add the patch system then. If one of the universe sponsors thinks this is the wrong approach, I'm willing to take suggestions.

Attaching a debdiff which includes this patch and fixes the issue. Subscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors.
