You may want to (try to) convince the Stable Release Manager that this is really suitable or even necessary for a point release.
I am really genuinely sorry for 1) reporting this bug so late, 2) causing you extra work and cause upstir by posting this to debian-project. The reason for posting it to the list was not to put pressure on you maintainers, but to as promptly as possible find out if people in general felt this to be important enough to warrant taking it further (i.e., "the Stable Release Manager"). As seen by the voices on the list so far, this seems not to be the case. Again, sorry.
Also many thanks for so very promptly providing workarounds and patches. //Rickard
