I've attached a patch (made with git, so use patch -p1 if you want to apply
it with the "wget patch" recipe above) that just looks for an existing
definition before defining a new one.  Let me know if this works for you. 
This patch should work if other distributions back port the definition as
well.

Also, if you would like me to use your real reporter name / email into the
commit log, let me know and I'll do so before committing.
