There wasn't in the debian/changelog, but there is this in the upstream

I'm guessing that's where it was incorporated into Debian.  However, I think
there was a 0.6 backport to woody (or was it still potato at that time?).  

Unfortunately I can't check it, as snapshot.debian.net had a HD crash.

The first version the fix was in upstream was 0.8.0.  Looking at the Debian
changelog there hasn't been an extra release to unstable before that.

Thanks,
