No. Maintainer agrees patch with security team; security team upload
new woody package. The patch must be limited to the security features.
Nothing from sid (unstable) ever goes into woody (stable), only into

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord
in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
I Thessalonians 4:16,17
