I hacked on this on a Debian machine that has a couple of these
installed and they work fine, but now I realise that might have to do
with the major upgrade history of the machine. So yeah... probably.
:-/ Not being involved in packaging I have no idea how plausible such
a backports (erm, forwardports?) repo would be, and I have even less
idea for other distros.
