It looks like Debian has 3 patches for this [1]. I used one of them in
the form of substitute* to get the package to build. I can include all
the patches if that is helpful, but I was actually hesitant to send this
patch at all.

I packaged it when trying to get the test suite for go-gopkg.in-mgo.v2
to pass as it uses utilities from daemontools, but I got stuck getting
mongodb to start. I left all of the stuff I did around the tests in
place, but just disabled them.
