(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This was six years ago, and it doesn't seem like anybody had an opinion.
Skimming this bug report, it seems like the fix in f1575763c0d fixed the
reported problem, so I'm closing this bug report.  If I misunderstood,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
