It's basically the same thing as I proposed initially, but with
different changes in the git history because 1. the maintainer was
calling me a liar; and 2. the uploader didn't want to touch git, so the
end result is a single commit stating that the NMU was imported, with
the bug closure.

I guess someone with enough time could stack this extra change on top of
the jessie branch, and either let it stay there, or upload the package
at the same time.

Sorry, I lost track of that extra fix and didn't think of it when Mehdi
proposed NMUing it for the first CVE fix.
