Good luck with trying to get some packagers to fix such issues!
I appreciate the effort as I've reported similar things many times before,
but some packagers just don't respond in bugzilla or overwrite changes
applied to git after waiting months for a reply.
Isn't this is a guidelines, so
if packager ignores them - he should be punished?
