I don't believe there is any harm from the duplicate entry, it just

Indeed, this was just a patch we'd been carrying to tidy things up.
There was no actual bug involved. I'd be happy to send a v2 of the
patch which comments out the duplicate entry and adds a note as to why.
Or I'd be fine just leaving the code as is and we'll drop the patch
we're carrying locally in Ubuntu.
Thanks,
