These kind of heuristics often fail because patches are shared between 
distributions and there is no sure shot way of figuring it out other 
than checking out source code which we can't reasonably expect users to 
do. The only thing that works is for users to just file a bug report in 
the distribution bugzilla and carry it upstream if the maintainers wants 
  to or for the maintainers themselves to do it.
