This update includes one of the two changes we have as delta.
Another Fix (group collisions) and the fix for this issue here.

I think despite FF, this could be re-merged to resolve this and the other mentioned bugs.
I'll tag it to be more likely to be considered.

But to avoid collisions @William (or @cjatson) are you about to do that merge already?

Yeah that would be fine, we have assigned two FTFBSes but not yet this one.
Take it and thanks in advance.

I mean your debdiff could already be all that is needed - but is it test-built, tested, discussed and so on.
If you need any help/review please ping us here.
