New features or minor issues don't seem to comply with the freeze policy.

If you want to fix these major issues for jessie, please provide a targeted
fix for these issues only, based on the current version in jessie (not the new
upstream). Also, please note that starting Dec 5th, we will no longer accept
changes for bugs with severity important (more info in the freeze policy,
linked above).
