Hi,

Thanks a lot!  And... uh, I am very sorry for my failure to give you a
patch in the promised couple of hours.  The reason is that just two
hours after I sent that e-mail, my backpack, containing my laptop, was
stolen.  Thus, I could not really do any Debian work until I got my
hands on a new laptop and set it up appropriately, which only happened
yesterday.

So, once again, thanks a lot for both your consideration of this issue,
your great idea for a solution, and your actual work of implementing and
testing this solution!

G'luck,
Peter
