Martin, did you actually test that version? If so, please let us know.

I'm still not convinced. You didn't really give an argument why an update via
unstable wouldn't work.
As my main concern is about tests for this version, I suggest you go ahead
with the upload to t-p-u based on your patch (the version in your patch is
ok). Once that version is in t-p-u, people can at least get it from there if
they want to test is (which might not happen that often, but without the
upload, it won't happen at all).
Don't remove the moreinfo tag from this bug when the upload enters t-p-u
(unless you have other info to add to the discussion). Leave it there for at
least 5 days. After that, remove the moreinfo tag from this bug and let us
know whether you had any reports about the upload (good or bad). We will
review the situation at that point.
Cheers,
Ivo
