Upstream would obviously like Debian to use the point releases of
polarssl, but they broke the ABI in the 1.3 series since 1.3.9 so we
can't use them directly. I had a go at reverting the ABI breaking
changes and I posted my attempt earlier to this bug report, but the
changes I had to make were very intrusive and they'll probably have to
fixed up again every time there is a new release.

I'm beginning to feel like cherry picking the CVE related fixes (like
you've done) is probably the best solution, especially since this has
already taken some time to fix.

A few things on the debdiff you just posted:
- The attachment came though in ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 and
  lintian didn't like it. Hopefully the file is ok on your machine
  though.
- I think the ssl-server-test needs an 'isolation-container'
  restriction since it opens TCP ports.

Thanks,
James
