Please do it if you feel it's useful.
A full new upstream version was uploaded to unstable since
then, so an update in testing would now have to go through t-p-u.
Given the crash fixed by 4.2.0+20120521-3 has severity normal,
I'm unsure it's worth the effort.
Dmitry, you filed the unblock request that is now outdated,
what do you think?

I'm not sure this would be worse than what's in testing right now, but
let's acknowledge that the fix has potential for future regressions,
and does not only bring good: using internal implementation details of
other libraries results in code that can break without notice, in the
future, when the depended upon library is updated.
Cheers,
