Well... Too much for ask *me*, yes it is.  I don't know internals of
neither of the pieces of softwares involved very well, and don't have
time to get such inner views to fix things the right way in any
feasible timeframe.

However, I plan to bring the fact it is using the "wrong" API to
upstream developers and see if they do the right fix instead.
