Thanks! Is this different than the patches we already have for ARM?
There is development going on upstream, and the patch from their bug
tracker seems to be the preferred one. I'm currently packaging the 1.5
series and will enable support for armel/armhf there, at least. I'm not
very convinced that backporting and keeping the 1.4 series alive is
reasonable, given that 1.5 matured a lot lately.

Best regards,
Manuel
