Hm. It seems that you are right. I noticed the 2.2.18 per se was
missing, ran 'grep-available' to check for other packages, and only
2.2.17 came up, I don't know why. Going through the lists apt
downloaded by hand revealed ample evidence of 2.2.18pre21 and
2.2.19pre17, either of which would have been suitable.

The patch seemed to either have already been applied in the source package,
or was getting applied twice in the build. I planned to take a closer look
at it tomorrow. In the meantime it was building with that change and
freaking out without it.

D'OH! This should teach me to submit patches after midnight. Sheesh. At
least I remembered to delete it out of the other patch ...
... I think I'll be adding a config.local now.
