I guess you mean CVE-2014-3242 and CVE-2014-3243? Since they are
public, discussion can (and should) open on the BTS, feel free to open
a bug there (and tag it security).

Hi, and thanks for the notice. Indeed, adding a new package to Wheezy
doesn't look really good, but if it's actually the only option and the
SRM are somehow ok with that, I guess we can go that road.

Well, for sid you can just proceed with standard NMU practices, I guess.

For Wheezy, we would need to wait for the new package to appear anyway.

For Squeeze, we should just mark the package as unsupported.
