Maybe #535331 should get a security tag?  It does deserve to get fixed
both in lenny and etchnhalf IMHO, so the severity should be increased at
some point.  But I was kind of hoping that the kernel team would just
add the build fix silently in connection with other security fixes.

As Christoph has demonstrated: The issue does have real world security
consequences.
