So this is IMO, the wrong thing to do. You should push the patch into upstream 2.19 stable and rebase instead of keeping the patch in debian svn. Given the patch is already in upstream master it is OK to commit to 2.19 stable, and post to libc-stable stating you checked in this fix. That way debian gets broader testing of the patches we are using instead of the narrower "just debian" users. Cheers, Carlos.
