Hi Simon, and sorry for the delay.

I might have picked a wording more along the “new upstream release from a stable branch” lines, to avoid squeeze-related mind-boggling, but OK. :) > The changes are small and targeted, and most of the diffstat is in the > regression tests (which we don't install or run in Debian).

Same remark as for the first bug. In addition to that, we really prefer fixes that have been tested in unstable for a while. Given the p-u freeze is near[1], I think it might be a good idea to stick to a fix for the first bug only which might get into 7.2. We could think of a second upload later (probably for another point release) once the fix has been exposed to users. 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/09/msg00477.html What do you think?
