If the patch is reasonably small and is tested in unstable for some time, it won't be a problem to do this. In the future, if you want a reaction from the release team, sending mail to debian-release@lists.debian.org will speed up things. > BTW, suboptimal subpixel rendering of fonts in Debian is one of the > reasons why many desktop users switch to other distros. Yeah, right. They don't do it because other distros have the newest bleeding edge features, but because they spend time on researching why fonts in some applications are not looking perfect and then willingly switch to a distribution which does proper subpixel rendering.
