It is likely a correct patch (didn't proof-read, seems very reasonable) but:
a) make sure it can work on amd64 (/usr/lib or /usr/lib64?)
b) I'll do this in at least 6 months from now, or users will scream - or I'll
add a compatibility symlink in /usr/bin for a while.
Debian did it the hard way IIRC (don't remember if only for the default
location of uml_switch socket or also for this), and problems resulted for
people with self-compiled kernels.
