Not something I like.
This is because while it's effectively Debian-native, having an upstream/debian sepatation does make patching prior releases, backporting, etc. easier.

The files changed are as in the diff I attached. I did a new upstream release, rather than patching in the diff, because it required changing the upstream configure with a new m4 macro, and then regenerating by re-bootstrapping with the autotools. Also, the bug was really an upstream bug rather than specifically Debian-related, so it did warrant a new upstream release. All the changed files are from autotools rebootstrapping, plus regenerating the documentation with doxygen. I will go through the debdiff and verify that this is the case; I have no reason to suspect it is not, but I'll double check. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
