There is no requirement that people need to upgrade to the latest point
release before upgrading to lenny and we don't intend to introduce that
requirement. It also appears that you're too late to get this change
included in the currently planned point release...
If it gets 'fixed' in lenny, then I don't see a reason why anything else
is needed?
