This is a known upstream bug in 2.3.2 (bug #20050), which was fixed in
2.3.3.

It's thus been fixed for ages in newer versions of the Debian package,
but still affects Debian wheezy/stable (and will do for a while,
presumably).

It would be a low-risk thing to fix in a backport to stable, should
Debian wish to do so -- it's just some tweaks to the scenario file in
question. (See the svn link from the upstream bug ID.)

(There's an argument that the wheezy package needs an update anyway --
it's had open security issues for ages: CVE-2012-5645, CVE-2012-6083.)
