Description:

Recent update is missing a patch that included the `-u` switch (which causes
scrot to take a snapshot of the window with the active input focus). It looks
like it really should be addressed upstream, but I have no idea where "upstream" is
and I can't figure out who maintains it. It looks like debian just maintains their own
source, so there's no universal upstream as far as I can tell.

See:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=245266;filename=scrot-0.8-focused.patch;msg=5

Additional info:
* scrot 0.8.17-2

Steps to reproduce:
Install latest scrot package from community repo (0.8.17-2)
`$ scrot -u filename.jpg` fails with "scrot: invalid option -- 'u'"
This task depends upon
