Thanks for pointing that out. I have re-read the whole bug log [1] and
I agree that since CTTE made and informal decision we don't have to
reopen the discussion there. (I assume most of the CTTE members
are reading this list, too, please speak up if I'm mistaken here.)

In the best scenario Matthias and Guillem can agree on a solution
and a test build can be run to see which packages need patching.
