you should backport the fix to the potato version, and increase the debian
revision number, and upload to "stable" - dinstall will automatically move
that to proposed-updates correctly. chances are, it wont go into potato,
but you can try. (it has to be a valid and worthwhile fix. - make sure you
explain in detail in the changelog. that is all that is looked at during
point release)
