It should have been tagged a long time ago, but I believe that's a good
idea.  The bug is severe -- makes the package effectively useless for a good
part of users (those on any inits other than systemd), has a pending fix,
and the fix has went through maintainer's review with no comments since 3
weeks ago.

I just did some extra tests, just in case -- upgrades work for me; and
obviously the functionality itself.
