Hmm, I wouldn't be opposed to this; but in my opinion it doesn't fix a bug per-se and instead introduces new features so isn't suitable for a stable point release ? I think having it in trixie-backports in the short term would be better, but I am happy to propose the fix for a trixie point release as well. Non-voting; just my 2c :-) Chris
