Hi,

If I'm not mistaking, this is the same bug as this:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754987

and some information may be found here too:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758480

If you agree that this is the same bug, then I may close this one.

Cheers,

Thomas
