I would have added it to the changelog, but it includes some workarounds
for false-negatives since the version used in Debian seems to be buggy.
Namely, it didn't manage to find occurences if there was only one, so I
included a number of NOP transformations to work around that. Or maybe
I'm doing something wrong :)

Attached for reference.
