Sorry for the delay, I was AFK until just now.
I've prepared a quick upload consisting of only Matthias' patch, minus
the superfluous d/shlibs.local as discussed in Michael's follow-up to
the patch.
I do still need a sponsor, though. For whomever is willing to act as
such, a source package can be obtained from the following link,
http://www.kvr.at/debian/pool/main/libc/libcap2/libcap2_2.24-9.dsc
or, alternatively, via the git repo
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/libcap2.git
using gbp.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Regards,
Christian
