Hi,

Thank you for the patch. I'll look into it and discuss it with upstream.

Upstream bug:

https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=312982&group_id=100070&atid=413085


We'll wait a while and hope upstream accepts it. According to fedora policies, we try to stay as close to upstream as possible.
