Thanks for your help, however, all the issues fixed by this update are marked
"no-dsa" in the security tracker [0] for being of minor impact, so we won't
release a DSA for them alone (feel free to comment if you disagree).

As far as wheezy (oldstable) is concerned, there is the matter of #773834
(which is not marked no-dsa), so if you decide to prepare a wheezy-security
upload fixing those issues, you can include the no-dsa fixes as well.

Given that you already prepared the package for jessie, it should be released
through stable-proposed-updates instead, as explained at [1] (so the release
team will handle this). You'll only need to change the target distribution and
open a bug report against release.debian.org (just follow the "reportbug"
instructions).

Please don't mention the "TEMP-" IDs in the changelog, since, as the prefix
suggests, they are only temporary and may change in the future. Proper CVE IDs
were requested for these issues a few months ago [2], but apparently they
haven't been assigned yet.

Again, thanks for your work.

Cheers
