That's no problem, because Debian source package consists of
original tarball plus patches.  Your patch would come in a different
file and the whole package will be included in the so called
"unstable" tree of Debian.  So the thing is no problem.  Actually
we'd get corrections from other testers which would make us profit
from it.  But if you don't like my attempt I won't do so ...

Of course I'd like to see it included into the next version.

Kind regards
