   * Fixed FTBFS on !linux-any. closes: #636814

Please note, Before filing this request for NMU :
I had filed two bug reports which can be accessed at
(a) bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619834 and
(b) bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619831.

Both of them generated no response in a timely fashion. I mailed the
current maintainers (forensics-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org) seeking
permission for a NMU upload and got no response.
So i have CC'ed three lists seeking mentorship for a NMU upload.
debian-mentors Mailing list : Because i seek mentorship for a NMU upload
debian-forensics Mailing list : Because they are the maintainers of
this fine piece of software
debian-hurd Mailing list : Because it closes the FTBFS on debian/Hurd
and adds some Hurd specific code fixes (ontop of FTBFS).
