David pointed out there might be some issues with the patch IIRC and it cant be
upstreamed for licensing reasons (doh, yeah, awesome!). Since David has been
investgating there, I would trust his judgement how we can best solve this one.
@David: Any suggestion what the least sucking alternative is?

Personally, I wouldnt use that feature at all and simply navigate with the
keybindings through changes -- but as always, workflows differ.

Done (David uploaded to gerrit, I pushed).

Im already in firefighting mode on the distro-level today, so I better wont
tweak on another production system. Maybe Robert or Norbert can, the thing
seems trivial enough.

Best,
