[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

thanks for the patch!

Please, if possible, ask upstream to provide a release.

It's not a good idea to use a random git commit in an official GNU distribution--
much better to just have them release a version.

Please document that in the description so it's not lost (description
can do texinfo markup).
