Well, (no offense implied) I am often puzzled at how people ask for
"just the minimal fix" WRT complex software. It's like asking the garage
guy: please replace my brake pads but DON'T remove the wheels!!11

I could try to do that but the the extract would still require
significant code changes and involve the risk of breaking something you
don't see coming in the beginning. Those three months of testing in Sid
are IMHO more worth for software quality than some wild patching.

Nope, it's against another version in Experimental. And no, it doesn't
affect Unstable or Testing.
