No, this is not possible at all. Zero chances.

This would be acceptable if the fix is targetted and not invasive. You
were asking on #debian-devel what'd be the time limit for such an upload
to be accepted: I can't give you one, because it depends on how fast the
RC bug count decreases. So you better tell your upstream to hurry if
they mind what's shipped with Lenny.

Cheers,
