I suppose I was going with the "smallest touch" approach here. If you're
interested in preparing a patch, I'm happy to apply it (or indeed, please
feel free to go ahead and apply it) but I wasn't planning to spend the
extra ergs on a package that hasn't been updated upstream in 7 years and is
working fine -- as measured by successfully building working software on
all the buildbots in its current configuration.
