Master != kilo. It still means that I have to do all of the backport
work by myself. Or are you suggesting that I package from trunk in Sid?
Or that backports of such fixes were available? If the later, then I

I know that it's the common assumption that, as the package maintainer
in Debian, I should volunteer to fix any issue in the 6+ million lines
of code in OpenStack ! :)
I do try to fix things when I can. But unfortunately, this doesn't scale
well enough... In this particular case, it was really too much work.
