Hello Andy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted into raring-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in a few hours in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

+ 
+  * The patches that I backported from 13.10 will preserve the current

+ (3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the
+ kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected
+ on these kernels.
