Well, to be honest, you should never use the Debian QEMU package. It's almost
always very outdated and would lack important patches like these. It's easier
to use local builds from git.

I did. But I'm updating the QEMU version on the buildds from time to time
by rebasing with git master and then I drop all the patches that have been
applied upstream.

Since I incorrectly assumed the patch was already merged upstream, it got
lost in the process. I will re-apply it locally when I update QEMU on the
buildds the next time.

Mistakes happen, but I already ran into this bug with the Perl package
almost a year ago and there was a patch around to fix this early on
which is why I somehow assumed it was already fixed in git.
