Thanks for checking in, but history and the size of my todo list
indicate that I will not be able to take care of this myself.
That said, the patch should cherry-pick/backport quite easily, as
the code in question should not have really changed between wheezy
and jessie. (I also think there are some non-security issues known
with the version in wheezy that probably make it unsuitable for use
in many sites, but I suppose that should not keep us from providing
updates.)
