For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 7.3+6.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 7.5+3.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 7.6+2.
