I understand. I do not like hearing that very much but it makes sense.
Even though this is a tiny incision, I do not feel comfortable
projecting all possible effects on the strangest of scenarios this
software is run in.

But that being said, the tiny size of this change makes me confident to
maintain this change locally for the time being. Effects of this change
being removed or overwritten by an update are implicitly monitored
really really well. :)

That is very good news. Another question would be if this is fixed in
the package or in the prrovided script in upstream. Even though that
does not really matter from an end user perspective, I would be
interested to know how that works.

Thanks for the effort,

 Joel
