Well, in cases like this I usually try to make it apply to the upstream
SVN tree and forward it.
It's a job that one day or another I'd need to do anyway (consider what
would happen if I applied it to the debian package, then an upstream
release happened without it, I'd need to rebase it at that point). :)

I actually just forgot to do it, while updating the sec tracker I didn't
check this bug status.


Thank you again for your patches!
