This fix made it into the 0.98.3 release and is already in unstable.
Unfortunately that version fails to build on PowerPC, so it doesn't 
migrate to testing and can't be uploaded to wheezy.

(By the way, the commit message says this fixes upstream bug #10970, not 
#10960, so either there is a typo in the commit message or you meant 
#10970.)

As I don't know, when the PowerPC failure will be fixed, it's probably 
best to cherry-pick this fix for wheezy.

Scott, what do you think?

Best regards,
Andreas
