Please unblock package botan1.10

Hi,

I would like to pre-mediate the inclusion of 1.10.4 (e.g. new upstream version).

The patch is very small and fixes three issues.  Upstream changelog:

http://botan.randombit.net/relnotes/1_10_4.html

--cut here--
 * Avoid a conditional operation in the power mod implementations on
   if a nibble of the exponent was zero or not. This may help protect
   against certain forms of side channel attacks.

 * The SRP6 code was checking for invalid values as specified in RFC
   5054, specifically values equal to zero mod p. However SRP would
   accept negative A/B values, or ones larger than p, neither of which
   should occur in a normal run of the protocol. These values are now
   rejected. Credits to Timothy Prepscius for pointing out these
   values are not normally used and probably signal something fishy.

 * The return value of version_string is now a compile time constant
   string, so version information can be more easily extracted from
   binaries.
--cut here--

The first two issues are security issues and the third could be
included just for the sake of clarity.

Attached is the 1.10.3 to 1.10.4 patch (I have tried to dig the
individual patches from monotone, but I have discovered that I don't
have a time to learn yet another revision system with weird syntax, so
unless you force me to do it, I would like to skip this part.)
