This fix already entered unstable in the meantime, with NMU 1.8.11p2-1.1 (which was an NMU against 1.8.11p2-1 with just this one fix added). So it received about three weeks of general testing without new bug reports. Personally, I've been using 1.8.10p3-1.1 (as per my original debdiff) on all my Jessie systems since it was first proposed, and can report that it works as intended. > I would prefer if it was just uploaded to unstable (reverting the new > upstream version there), to allow it to be tested there, and migrate > to jessie that way.

Would you consider the new information above satisfactory WRT sufficient testing, so that perhaps the unstable shuffling could be avoided?
