I think the right thing would be any random developer who feel
inclined to do a patched deb ASAP, should to it, put it in some
available place on the net, and drop a note both to the maintainer and
the security team, leaving up to those people to decide if and when
that patch should be uploaded as a Debian package.

Cheers,
