nuts to debian bug tracking when the issue is upstream

can you confirm the upstream change mentioned resolves the issue ?

No, haven't tried it yet.

Also, looking at http://smartmontools.cvs.sourceforge.net/smartmontools/sm5/CHANGELOG?view=markup 
it might be a good idea to incorporate more of those not-yet-released
changes into a patchset to ship with our 5.37 package....

Upstream has released 5.38 which is already in the tree.
