I succesfully branched 7.8.24, backported the packaging fixes from
trunk, and backported the security patches sent by upstream. The
resulting package works fine and passes all the codebase tests.

Turns out upstream helped identifying the needed backports and they were
applied.

Finding a security issue on 7.9 could perhaps be backported, but once
7.10 comes out I wouldn't be so sure. I agree it's better to remove
7.8.24 from Squeeze, so please go ahead with that.
Too bad the release of 7.9 happened a day after the freeze :-/
