Hello,

None, I just was not aware of this possibility.

FWIW I had asked on #debian-devel how to solve this problem properly
and didn't receive the correct pointer either, however I think this
was mainly caused by the fact that my the way I asked already pointed
in the wrong direction.

I am going to fix this.
