Comment 2 for bug 260576

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. One small but important thing is missing: You have to subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors. I have done it now for you. For details have a look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess.

It would be good, if you send your patch to the upstream authors, so that they can include it into their upstream project. If they reject you can report this patch to Debian.
