Hmm, but in that case the only argument for updating the package is for
people creating new packages, and in that case they should be using the
version in unstable regardless, and having this fixed in stable is no big
deal right? :)
In that case I'd rather punt on this; it should be low impact, but the
benefit just doesn't seem to be great enough to risk.
