One patch for mgetty and one for netbase:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=53733 netbase
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=72269 mgetty

Some bugs could be closed IMHO (unless the submiter provides more
information)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=66669 mgetty
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=82472 ldso
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=22156 mgetty (agetty)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=59219 mgetty

I know that the maintainers are doing everything in their spare time.
But that doesn't prevent me from not liking the non-reaction.

I plan to wait for about four more weeks and then try to get the fixes
included, if nothing else helps with a NMU. Is this appropriate?
