This is a patch on a plate - Jon Grimm got the fix pretty much ready to go but didn't finish the SRU.  I've reproduced the original issue and verified the fix from his PPA.  The patch lacked DEP3 and had an incorrect version number, and the SRU paperwork needed filled in.  I've taken care of all that and think this is ready to go.

I anticipate one counter-argument is that xenial is quite old now, however note that the userbase for this type of issue (puppet, php) are also the audience for ESM so I could imagine this bug could still be a problem even once xenial is out of support.  The fix is quite trivial and has very little regression risk.
