If so then the security-tracker needs updating, as https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-2894 lists unstable as vulnerable. If the security team don't plan to issue a DSA for the issue (which I don't know if they've decided yet) then the patch looks sane enough to include in the p-u.
Yes, 2.0.0 contains the (last-minute) fix.
And no, this fix is definitely worth a DSA.
So I'm uploading +deb7u2 to wheezy-pu as has been already agreed before,
to catch the train to 7.5. With intention to fix CVE-2014-2894 later.
Thanks,
