New dpkg version for etch?

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Hi,

There's been an RC bug reported recently against dpkg (not filed as RC
back then, though), which had already been fixed some time ago, but not
for etch. So was wondering if the stable release team would be fine
with an upload fixing at least #506258 [0] and the trivial #311843 [1],
targetting etch?

There's also the currently fixed RC in the unstable version 1.14.23,
but even if I think the fix is good and should be safe, it's probably
too recent to consider. And there are probably other ones for wich the
BTS version information was not accurate enough, which would need bug
archeology.

thanks,
guillem
