I'm sorry - I guess I mailed the wrong list. I intended to mail
the debian maintainer of the package.

You can't demand from users the download source, configure it with
some new option, recompile and install a package just to get another
package to work correctly. We need a *binary* distribution with
this option turned on. But you are right, it's strictly a debian
issue and I'll try to find out who the maintainer of the package
is (unless you can tell me).
