thanks for your patch! Since this is security related, I would like to dig
a bit deeper. That the package itself has a wrong homepage (maybe we could
switch to https://www.opendnssec.org/softhsm/ at the same occasion?) does
not help, nor that the software looks abandoned (last commit on
https://github.com/opendnssec/SoftHSMv2 about a year ago, last release
three years ago). But as I understand it, it is more of educational use
than to provide actual security?

Could you add a pointer to the source of the patch (at the top of the file,
for instance)? I did not find it in the Debian package. And maybe add a
copyright line for yourself.

Andreas
