Done. Uploaded this to delayed 5, so if there's anything else we should
have time to fix up stuff.

+irqbalance (0.12-7etch1) stable; urgency=low

+ * Non maintainer upload.
+ * irqbalance would segfault on startup when /proc/interrupts contains
+ an interrupt with a number of 256 or larger, since internally it
+ stored data in a fixed-length array. Newer versions (say 0.55) have
+ replaced the data structure with a list so this is fixed there. For
+ now we just skip interrupts with such high numbers, since it's the
+ least invasive approach during the stable cycle (closes: #500985).
