Hi Jonathan,

Before uploading such an update, this has to be discussed with the
release team, as part of the stable-proposed-updates procedure. Please
open a bug against the release.debian.org pseudo-package, and get
approval by the release team (when writing such bug report, you must
send a debdiff between the version in Wheezy and the proposed version).

When the release team has approved your change, then I can sponsor it.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
