Ugh... More than we, _I_ am partially responsible. And I was about to
argue that I dislike making NMUs that involve an upstream version
update - But that's what I did with 0.14-0.1. 

Niko, as you are clearly more involved in this than me: You submitted
two patches to #419757. The bug report also mentions upgrading to a
newer upstream version. Does the upstream version include the patches
for this problem? 

FWIW, this package looks undermaintained. In the first place, I didn't
offer to hijack it because I don't use it... But we could very well
add it to our pool. I'm adding Jay Bonci as Cc: here, as he is surely
involved :) Jay, maybe you can do an update on this?

Greetings,
