"Martin-Éric,
personally I don't mind backporting the package (and submitting back to
the mailing list) but the only problem is that I need some instructions
on how to do that. I have been looking on Debian backporting over the
internet and most of the material is outdated (dating back to Woody).

Thank you once again for your effort.
