I am happy to write a patch. Just a quick note, I would have thought 
that the Debian patch was released under a GPL license, and hence I 
wouldn't need to request permission (as the permission was already 
granted by the license). I will check the license anyway before I check 
the code and do a clean room implementation from scratch if necessary..
