Ok, I take this as a "won't happen anytime soon". Can you
file a bug at bugzilla.samba.org and propose a patch? As
Martin said, the debug patch might be part of a bigger
patchset and might have dependencies, so please make sure
that the resulting 4.2 tree survives a full private
autobuild. Jelmer can for sure help you with that.
