Sorry to have lost track of this. Do you know what patch fixed it?
Does 3.5.y from experimental work?

Curious,
Jonathan

That's good to hear. Does that you mean you have a rough patchset
available, even if it doesn't work perfectly yet?

I'd be happy to see some patches e.g. with [PATCH/WIP] in the subject
line so there is something for people listening in to experiment with.
Alternatively if they are not ready for testing or comments but should
go somewhere public in a less noisy way, if you send patches as
attachments to the bug log at 677533-quiet@bugs.debian.org then they
won't be forgotten.

Thanks,
Jonathan
