Fix the #698037 by applying the above patch and have the package
unblocked by the release team. Once the package has been migrated into
testing, package the latest upstream version and upload it into
unstable, you can later repackage it for Wheezy Backports if an
up-to-date version is really that important.
Anything else will just delay Wheezy and we really don't want this :).
I agree, I've just had a first look at the other fix and I'll review it
again tomorrow and decide if it should be RC as well.
Would you mind having a look over the other patch as well?
http://simpleid.koinic.net/trac/ticket/109
combines three patches:
http://simpleid.koinic.net/trac/changeset/563/svn
http://simpleid.koinic.net/trac/changeset/564/svn
http://simpleid.koinic.net/trac/changeset/565/svn
This is difficult to say, but it depends on the seriousness of the bug.
Remember, the bug has to be tagged as "serious" or worse to be
considered an RC bug.
So, if you really think this bug [1] qualifies as such, please file a
bug report against the simpleid with the appropriate severity. But
please remember to do that only when this justified.
As I said before, I would fix bug #698037 first with a separate upload,
then you may still consider reporting the other issue and fix it with
another upload.
The release team is usually very strict when it comes to unrelated
changes, even if they are just small or cosmetic.
If you have doubts, please get into touch with the release team yourself
and just ask them. You could do that by fixing #698037, file an unblock
request through the pseudo package "release.debian.org" where you could
ask them if they'd be willing to unblock the above upstream bug fixes as
well in another upload.
