I've actually done a bit of work packaging this, and submitted a patch
for this problem upstream.  It's two releases old, but it you can get
the idea from the patch, which I've added it in this email.

Since you're doing this now, could you separate out kupfer-provider
into a second binary package, as I'm working with a package that
requires it, but not kupfer, so it'd be helpful to be able to install
them separately.
