I don't see how the "support Postgres' md5 hashes" is security related.
"I can only use this table if I do $foo" while $foo is maybe not sane
doesn't qualify as a security bug in my books.

This is fun, too:

+TODO (see http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/):
+Last-Update: 2010-08-28
+Forwarded: <no|not-needed|url proving that it has been forwarded>
+Reviewed-By: <name and email of someone who approved the patch>

That said I wouldn't oppose it, despite it not fitting the freeze guidelines.

As for #596375: it looks RC-ish.  I'm a bit stunned that there's neither a
manpage, nor it's shipped with a configuration file at the default location you
suggest.  After all, you could pass config_file to the module to use a
different one, and those will still break.  I'm not sure how to handle this
case properly, though, and I'd strongly suggest an entry in NEWS.Debian.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
