Well, it's just a new feature that someone needs. We normally don't
take feature patches, but this one is a backport from upstream.
genimage also does new releases fairly infrequently, so waiting for the
next release is not necessarily nice. The patch was short enough, taken
directly from upstream, so I said "ok, let's take, it will anyway go
away the next time we bump".

Dario, could you fill in an issue to the genimage issue tracker to ask
for a new release? I did that last time, and it worked, within a day or
two they published a new release.

Best regards,

Thomas
