Hi,

You do have very convincing argument, and with them, I believe I can
attempt to get the stable release team to accept the "fix" in Stretch.
We'll have to get something better done for unstable though. Hopefully,
I'll find enough time to make the patch, build, and send the bug to the
release team for approval over this week-end.

No worries, this happened to me many times as well.
