The upstream is actually Best Practical, but the repo was in a staff members
personal space on GitHub, so they hadn't seen you bug report + patch.

I submitted a ticket in their company tracker [0]. They are now tracking that
repo, and have published 0.19, which has pulled in a numerous patches from
around the place (including another of yours!).

I'll update the package in unstable later today.
