So what's your suggestion as a DD to handle this in Debian?
Should I simply add Manuels patch from
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75191#txn-1040627 to
the Debian package and change the behavior of Debian Net::SNMP in a
way that doesn't follow the upstream maintainer but will solve the
problem of many people using non RFC compliant systems?

I personally tend to do it that way, but I do not really like the idea
to ignore upstreams intention here...

Greetings
Roland
