however, i suspect that the data used by bacula's packages is sufficiently 
sensitive to warrant action.  we could do any of the following:

- issue a security upload with the diff from the NMU
- issue an update via etch-proposed-updates
- ensure the affected packages in unstable depend on dbc >= this nmu and
  that they migrate successfully to lenny

and it seems of these the security upload is both the simplest solution as 
well as most sensible one.

i don't know that a CVE is really necessary though, since this is a very minor 
issue that does not currently affect anyone (if you don't count partial 
upgrades to stuff from backports), and only has the *potential* to do so if 
it's not resolved before lenny is released.  then again, i've seen CVE's 
assigned for even less worthy things that ended up as non-issues (i.e. half 
of the php-related CVE's in the past year), so i'll defer to the security 
folks on that.
