That is correct.  I adopted the Debian time package and added that
patch and released Debian's 1.7-24 version.

  http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/time.html

That flowed into Ubuntu and shows as being available in Quetzal 12.10
and later.

Unfortunately it didn't make it into Precise 12.04 LTS.  Which is
especially unfortunate since it is their current LTS release.  It is a
behavior change and so I don't think would be a candidate for a
propose-update in a point release.
