Debian source, patched it, and build it into a binary package which I could install in place of the normal Debian one. It is working fine with both PPPoA for ADSL and standard dialup.
Remember to mark the package as "hold" if you use apt-get at all. You can do this through one of the front-ends (not sure whether dselect can, though), or I think it's echo "pppd hold" | dpkg --set-selections if you feel like brute force. You should check the fine manual before believing me, though.

I posted a separate message about this on 5th April. This is not a showstopper though as it works correctly with ATM support including PPPoA compiled into the kernel.
Actually, I remember someone complaining on another IRC channel about this problem, but I don't remember if there was another solution. Such is the trouble with IRC for technical questions.
