Looks like the proposed patch on the stable ml. Also looks obvious after being
pointed out (as  the ipv4 part makes no change there).

I used 832332 as the bug number. I wonder if it'll wreck the stable bug 
tracking process, but there _was_ an entry for Lucid just waiting to be 
set to 'Fix Committed'.

Yes, please don't do that. This needs a regular bug with SRU justification and
all the rest.
