Dear Sampo,

Thanks for the report.

I agree it's not worth a big trouble, but still, this would be a nice thing
to advertise our end users even in backports. When I met the issue myself, I
found out the workaround, and I thought about a way to advertise end users.

I'll release something this evening.

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
