Ah, my mistake. I mistook your upload of
procmail (3.12-0) unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream release. Fixes some security bugs.
for
procmail (3.12-1) frozen unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream release. Fixes some security bugs.
* #define GROUP_PER_USER in config.h to allow writeable rcfiles when
the group is the user's default group.
* Added KNOWN_BUGS to the doc directory.
* suid procmail to avoid non-suidness window when upgrading.
which occurred roughly 16 hours later.

Sadly, it didn't make any difference, hence my confusion. Guess it's part
of that big "anti-Santiago" conspiracy.

Antti asked a question. I answered it.
