Uh, sorry for this super late reply, my real life was a bit turbulent
recently. I would be in favour of adding a freeze exception for this
version as the first fix is useful for desktop environments without a
GUI policykit agent - AIUI thats most beside the big kde/gnome/xfce
ones. And the last change is useful as it means that you will see
packages in the security.debian.org origin even if the package is also
available on a "normal" mirror and the sources.list entry of the
normal mirror is before the security.d.o server. Risk should be pretty
low for this update.
Cheers,
Michael
