apparently there is a wishlist bug report for this in Debian:

Let's say I wouldn't object. *I* will not change the memcached plugin to
use libmemcached instead of the current implementation, because I'm sure
I'd only break things. But if someone puts in the effort for whatever
reason, I'd certainly apply the patch.

I have to admit I've lost track a bit.. I changed your patch to
implement that, right? Does it work? Should I pull it into the master
branch?
