 Another option is raised in #457839 - and digging around there and also
reading along and thinking around it seems like this has been fixed for
squeeze/sid already. Given that documentation-only fixes for stable won't
be accepted by the release team there is little we can do for that, and
given that it isn't needed for squeeze/sid anymore there is even less we
actually should do in there, too. :)

 Ferenc, I think we can call this issue a closed one, unless you want to
keep it open until squeeze becomes the next stable. There is little we
can (and especially, should) do from the dctrl-tools front. This isn't
specific to our package, and even was already addressed in the meantime
in the proper place; after all that's the reason why Antti-Juhani wasn't
able to reproduce it in the first place.

 So long!
