Point me to the built .deb, or .diff.gz and I'll test it.

It is quite simple to test, but I'll have to give it a couple of minutes
thought.

Alternatively... there is 1.4.1 coming out "soon", which contains this
and other minor fixes. What would be the release deadline to get that
into Intrepid? (I appreciate it is easier if Debian package it first).

1.4.1 should be an ABI compatible release for libgeda 1.4.0, so the
library so major version shouldn't bump. That should save a couple of
weeks in the "new" queue.

Good idea to SRU the patch for Hardy, although I don't think I've heard
any complaints about the broken backends - they can't be widely used.
