launchpad-groovix: I meant it's too late to do anything about that this bug slipped into xenial in first place. Fixing the problem afterwards however should be possible, if little more complicated, sorry for being unclear. The #1642966 probably is fixable and there has been effort to do that to the point there is a PPA that's supposed to contain the fix. However, efforts to make it an official SRU seem to have been stalled for since a month.
