One of the goals of updating packages in stable is to do so via minimal 
changes which fix the issue being addressed, which would be your "1".

However, looking at the bug log, I noticed that it's not resolved in 
unstable yet. Is there an ETA for that? In general, bugs should be fixed 
in unstable first, as this allows any (well, most) issues with the patch 
to be noticed and fixed more quickly and reduces the risk of the bug 
being reintroduced in a later release.
