Thanks for the pointer.

Fabio,

Should this go on the TODO for -7?  At this point I don't even know whether
the debrix patch will apply cleanly to our tree.

Not doing it for -7 probably means not doing it for sarge.

Furthermore, I don't have any C&T hardware to test the fix on.  If the
submitter's willing to help with testing, that might be helpful.
