I think we should fix this.  People will still hit it on upgrades to jessie 
otherwise.  Also, I'm planning on pushing 0.99.2 to wheezy-lts soon and 
inflicting this same pain on LTS users doesn't make sense, so I'd like to 
include it there (and as a result, I think it's very important to get it into 
Jessie to avoid regressions on upgrade).
