 Ok; perhaps it's not exactly the same problem.

 You were looking at an unpatched source tree; the patches below
 debian/patches are applied during the build.

 apt-get source is correct, make sure it's the correct source which you
 fetch (2.18.3-3).  But to see the patched source, you need to run
 "quilt" as I explained in my other mail.

 To build the package, you simply need to run dpkg-buildpackage.  If you
 run ./configure manually, the patches wont get applied, but you can
 patch manually and run ./configure manually if you like.  Don't patch
 manually and run dpkg-buildpackage though.

 Please let me know whether you still get the issue with the patched
 source and ./configure or with a dpkg-buildpackage built package.
   As you can see in the patched source or in the patch I mentionned,
 the same fix should already be present.
