Was that discussed with anyone on the Release Team beforehand? I can't
find any correspondence in my release mail folder at least.

Hurd isn't in jessie, so that's not really a relevant fix.

For future reference, the generally expected workflow for fixes in
stable is to file this bug _first_, attaching a proposed debdiff which
is then discussed before any uploads occur. (Had that happened, we'd
also likely have requested that the package version be 1.42.12-1.1
+deb8u1.)
