Bug in last release is fixed in CVS - what to do?



I packaged ROX-Filer (http://rox.sf.net/). Some time ago version 2.0.0 was 
released as stable so I changed few things in packaging. Now I have 3 
packages:

1. rox - "stable release only" version of ROX-Filer
2. rox-snapshot - CVS snapshot of development version
3. rox-filer-hrw - rox-snapshot with few extra patches (some of them will not 
be applied by upstream).

Some time ago there was a bug which renders program unusable in current 'sid' 
- it was fixed in CVS version so packages other then "rox" are free from it. 
But not "rox" :( which is used by some people.

What I should do now? 

1. I can just integrate "rox-snapshot" into "rox" so this will be "always" 
up-to-date with bugfixes.
2. Do some "cvs update" to "rox" to have this one bug fixed.
3. Create patch from CVS and apply it to ROX-Filer 2.0.0 sources.

Which method is more Debian way?
