Hi Bernhard,
the patch looks fine to me. if the bug is bumped to grave (and there are reasons
to do so); I have done point updates in the past and it is straightforward, if
you have already opened the bug / done the upload then OK, otherwise I can do
either of the two (for example if they are OK with teh bug I can do the upload
with your commit).
