That really sucks. Mark Hymers promised he would (co)maintain ia32-libs
and do stable/security updates but no sign of them for 6 month
now. Should have given up earlier and do it myself I guess. And I guess
I don't have to hurry with ia32-libs-gtk then eigther.

Given the number of security fixes and their severity should I send this
over to the security team so they will be available before the next
point release?  Or would they want something that only updates packages
with security flaws?
