The patch isn't mine;  I grabbed it from upstream while it was in the process of
being merged.  Its author was already working with upstream for a merge at that
time, and I sent him my input to ensure the patch works on GNU/kFreeBSD as well
as FreeBSD.

For the debian side, I think it's safer to pull it from upstream when it's time
to.  I don't want to risk having further problems.
