This sounds reasonable - but actually the changelog isn't too cryptic here and I don't see anything in either 1.8.10-3 nor even 1.8.10-2 that would cause them to fix anything security related. I know that it can only be a wish, but could you at least try to read the according changelogs to see wether the version in squeeze could at least remotely have something to do with that the issue has gone away, and try to get more accurate informations in the tracker with minimum effort. backports is at least included in the tracker for some reason and I mostly Stefan Fritsch and a bit of myself worked on having this happening so it would be at least kind to the spirit of trying to work for the effort, not against it.
