We should just force SymLinksIfOwnerMatch for /home to solve this.

It's important but I wouldn't call this one release-critical.

I fixed these two in 1.4.0.33. I didn't close the bugs because I still
need to fix them for the dpkg in potato.

Only in potato; looks like Brian forgot to add this one to his
exclusion-list again

filters is no longer in frozen, so this can be excluded as well.

> general           28850  gettext: security problem when used in setuid programs [0]  (debian-devel@lists.debian.org)

Everyone who has a package with a setuid program or something that runs
as root should check if it uses gettext, and if so recompile it with
the latest gettext installed. Please not that this is not necessary for
programs that use the gettext from libc6.
