But, well, this is what we need...:-). Solving a bug requires an
action. Nicolas proposes one. The only thing we can decide is to
apply it or not....

>From what you say, I'm more hearing a "yes" than a "no" and I'm
tempted to say Nicolas, go ahead and commit that fixes (also propose
it upstream) and close this bug.

We can nitpick wording for years and years, but frankly speaking I
need Nicolas competences for a lot of other stuff in shadow
maintenance..:-)
