Hi Cedric
There are two answers for that question:
1) The patch seems to be a potential ABI breaker. I do not say it is
an ABI breaker, but it needs some analysis before telling that. ABI
breakers has not been allowed for a quite long time during the lenny
freeze period.
2) It has not been a grave bug and lenny has been in a freeze period.
However this bug is a good candidate for the next release update of lenny.
Best regards,
