Thanks for catching this.  I wonder why no QA tool reported this?  Seems
like a simple thing for lintian to discover?  Or did you use some tool
to discover this that isn't linked from the PTS?

A patch like the one below seems to fix this.  But maybe we should raise
a lintian wishlist bug report too.
