Yeah, the changes were too invasive to backport through -stable especially
at the time as I didn't know how well the new scheme would work. There have
been some updates afterwards but it seemed to have held up fine, so if some
distros wanna backport them, this should be pretty safe now. However, I
think the window has already passed for -stable backports.

Thanks.
