OK, -4 migrated to testing, but now there is another security-related
bug fixed in unstable. Would it be OK if I upload this to bpo? The full
changelog is:

 firebird2.0 (2.0.3.12981.ds1-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Resync port-mipsel.patch from upstream and enable it. Closes:
     #460220
   * port-mips.patch synced with upstream and enabled. Closes: #417409
   * Update French debconf translation. Thanks to Christian Perier.
     Closes: #456393
   * Updated debconf translations. Unfuzzied "Password for firebird
   * ${VER}"
   * Updated Norwegian debconf translations by Bjørn Steensrud. Closes:
     #461337
   * Updated Vietnamese debconf translation by Clytie Siddall. Closes:
     #461418
   * Updated Romanian debconf translation from Eddy Petrișor. (Closes:
     #461624)
   * Updated German debconf translation by Holger Wansing. (Closes:
     #462300)
   * add cvs_security-long-username_CVE-2008-0467_#463596.patch (Closes:
     #463596 -- CVE-2008-0467 remote buffer overflow leading to arbitrary
     code execution)

The patches that add the new ports are isolated and do not touch the
already built ports. I mis-uploaded this with urgency=low so I mailed to
-release for a bump. If everything goes well, -5 should migrate to testing
in a couple of days.

If you allow this, it would save me one upload. Not a big deal, I guess
:)
