I could not reproduce the problem upgrading a fresh 7.4 system to 7.5, nor have I seen it in the wild.Perhaps i should have been more clear on how to reproduce the bug, sorry. On the test case you are presenting, the bug will only happen if you do an aptitude safe-upgrade on a i386 machine.
Ah, so this is architecture-specific. Thanks for the clarification.
So, should i re-upload the patch pointing to stable-security?
No, please talk to the security team first to work out the best way of resolving it.
(Of course if they are reluctant to fix it through stable-security, then please come back to us, but IMO a bug that originates in security should be fixed in security. It will be released sooner there; you will have to wait for a point release for stable through release.)
