The changes were made to lib/argcv.c (see revisions 1.10,1.11). You
may try to check out only this source, this should work if the Debian
snapshot was made after 01:25:43 UTC at Feb 21. But anyway, I would
suggest you to check out the whole tree.

Just in case, here's the diff between revisions 1.12 and 1.9 of
lib/argcv.c:
