The experimental apt does have the patch, or rather a variant of the
patch. Unfortunately the experimental apt segfaults a lot (and no, I'm
certain it isn't my patch causing it) so getting it into squeeze in its
current state might be problematic.

PS: I might find the time to make an (out of Debian) update for
ia32-apt-get next weekend. So far nothing is planed for that (lets hope
it stays that way).
