We'll discuss this particular one with Otavio and let him comment on
the solution.

I would say that they are a million times better than they were in
2.11.8 but I don't discount the fact that a few issues remain to iron
out. At the very least, a large number of rendering issues that had
been bugging users for the last two years are finally resolved and
this, IMHO, is a good enough reason to allow 2.11.9 into Squeeze. This
being said, it could very well be that a few issues that Julien
brought up need to be addressed before it happens.
Conversely, we'd appreciate if bug #567909 would finally be resolved
on time for Squeeze.
