Sorry I've been quiet but I've been working on this :-)

I've built and used scripts to scan about 1,000 packages, and it looks
like about 100 of them have this problem. I'll post an RFC patch shortly
and answer your questions, above.

However, I've also run into several failures that are different issues,
so this isn't going to fix them all.

Cheers,
Sam.
