Yay, thanks! I have committed it to the packaging repository.

Now I am slightly relunctant to add it to wheezy, not sure it would warrant an 
unblock (although [0] shows no forecoming problem). This fix could potentially 
break existing initscripts (admittedly relying on that broken behaviour), so I 
have uploaded to experimental for now. 

Opinions ?
