That might be an option to cherry pick, but I am not intending to do
much work on TL2009 anyway anymore, since I want to get TL2011 into
Debian as soon as possible.

And I think it does not quallify for a stable update, so I guess it
has to wait for the TL2011 arrival in Debian.

Best wishes

Norbert
