If the bug was fixed upstream since then (== is not present in
Wheezy), then I agree, the effort is not worth it, let's forget
about it.

If the bug is still present in Wheezy, then I still think we should
report it to Debian and/or GNOME, and contribute our existing patch.
Perhaps they'll ignore it, but at least, let's make upstream aware of
the problem and possible solution.
Our contribute/relationship_with_upstream page contains plenty of
reasons to do.
