I wasn't aware of the new dak feature on ftp-master that uploads to 
testing-security, which are newer than the unstable version get put into 
unstable as well. I've marked it as fixed in sid now as well.
Since the issue was embargoed, it was fixed via testing-security first and

You appear to be a regular, so why not subscribing? ;)
Also Moritz offered you commit access to the tracker, do you have any 
intention to follow up on it? Feel free to query me on IRC, if you want to 
discuss this further (nick "white").

Cheers
