Thanks for your investigation! I have updated the tracker and removed
thus the entry with the temporary item only.

Hello,

I'm closing this bug report since the problem is already fixed
in stable/testing/unstable (and it seems unlikely someone is interested
in adressing it for oldstable or they would have done so by now).

Andreas Henriksson
