This package is a bit difficult to "fix". One it has custom patches
that upstream doesn't accept. Two the fix is to upgrade to a very new
version which will break everyone who upgrades until they (or the
first person who gets to the website :) ) runs the upgrade mode..
which might not work due to either custom changes or the fact that it
is a large upgrade change.
