The following patch will set the "AA" bit for all of Deadwood's replies:

http://maradns.org/deadwood/patches/deadwood-3.2.02-kumba.patch

It is non-trivial to have Deadwood set the AA bit for some replies and
have the AA bit cleared for other replies.  I'm also not really in an
economic position to make something like this a user-settable flag.

Thank you for your understanding,
