Comment 6 for bug 239062

It's neither a regression or a crash, so it fits:
"Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel)."

It does not really rectify a SRU by itself probably, but given that there's a new v-o-m in hardy-proposed already (for the new kernel ABI), I think adding this fix to it makes a lot of sense. Otherwise the next push of the kernel to -updates (if the modules and kernel should get finally copied together) will cause above mentioned problems.
