Bug#813471: Seeking seconds for patch to permit some network access to localhost



control: tag -1 +patch

Hello,

Here is a patch, for which I am seeking seconds, that tries to capture
the points raised by Osamu, Guillem and Paul without getting into
legalese -- Bill has a point.  In particular, I think we can trust
package maintainers to interpret "started by the build" sensibly.

Discussion by Ian and Simon cloned into a separate bug and continued
there.  Gunnar's discussion should be a separate bug, so setting it
aside for now.
