Re-reading your mail I think I can see what happened - Claude looking at
the debian sources, which indeed are "2.6.14 + security patches" and
not 2.6.20 - and then forgetting to look at the upstream git repo, or
so...

I think this commit and the one before it (876a8cf5fd, "dco: port
core/context infrastructure needed ...") do qualify as bugfix, so should
be backportable according to debian rules...

Always at your service ;-)

(admittedly it took us waaay to long to fix this in 2.6 - the 2.7.0
release got in the way, and then everybody was exhausted...)
