True - but as you had pointed out, the commit this fixes is set in
stone. How do we ensure this bugfix is picked up as well when the other
patches are backported? Does that  happen automatically, or do I need to
add a Link: tag to the patch being fixed?

(Greg didn't seem to object to the Fixes: as such, just to the incorrect
version prereq)

Cheers,
