Hello Reiner,

Thanks for the patch, Vincent has applied it to Git so it will be in the
next upload.

I had noticed that the CI was reporting this problem for i386/armhf, but
hadn't got around to look into it yet.

Andreas, Vincent,

There is movement again upstream but I don't think there will be a new
release soon, and I don't think we have anything pending ourselves, so
IMHO we can upload this already.

I'm happy to take care of it, if one of you whitelists my key for the
package. Thanks!

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
