Dear release team (and Matthias), Concerning http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676423
There is a grave bug in doxygen (segfault which causes other packages to FTBFS) which has been fixed in unstable together with other minor fixes, including a new upstream release. I believe that means that this fixed package will not be able to migrate to testing. I would like to upload a minimalistic fix to testing-proposed-updates as an NMU. The package would simply add this patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=21;filename=fix_676423_segfault.patch;att=1;bug=676423 and the version number would be 1.8.1-1+deb70u1 (as per my understanding of http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu-changelog ). A prospective debdiff is attached. Is that good for you? Kind regards, Thibaut.
