Hello Bastian,
please give some more context to your ticket.

Is this a bug fix? What is the bug?
Is it a new feature? Describe the new behavior. Why it this feature
useful and relevant for other users?

Finally, in both cases, I suggest to contribute this to the upstream
project instead to Debian.

Regards,
Christian Buhtz
