The patch applies just as easily to either. So which it was originally
against matters not all that much.

Yes, it's being considered (although I don't own modutils :). I'm
probably going to throw it into rawhide for a week or so first to try to
shake out weirdness and then go for updates testing and from there to a
final update. I'm fairly cautious when it comes to updating important
things like modutils ;)
