I've applied the suggested patch (which can be found in the packaging
repository[1]).

The patch will be applied to the source and later installed in the
location you named above.

Since I also can't really test we simply rely on Kerstin to check
whether it solves her problem.  Kerstin, you might like to wait for the
next mirror sync until staden 2.0.0+b10-3 will be available.  Please
confirm whether both problems you reported are solved.  Thanks for
testing.

James, if you are interested there are some more patches[2] in the
packaging reporitory.  Some of them might be of interest - at least
the spelling.patch with some spelling fixes.

Thanks again for your prompt help

       Andreas.
