What I'm trying to avoid is the opposite -- thousands of 
package-builders, tens of thousands of users, rebuilding their 
fusefs-smbnetfs for no reason whatsoever. /That/ is bad user experience...

Considering, that no one has contacted me about adding this particular 
patch -- despite it being available on SourceForge for months -- I 
suspect rather strongly, that it simply is not used with LIBSECRET by 
anyone... Or, if a few people are actually building it with the option 
turned on, that's a deliberate action and they are not trying to disable 
the feature through configuration -- which disabling is now fixed by the 
new patch.

Yours,
