Bug#863481: [Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#863481: [node-concat-stream] Uninitialized Memory Exposure

[roucaries bastien]

I can do it but I do not know that is the best:
- let 1.6 go to unstable
- patch old version

Could you ask release team.

The debdiff between the two version is so small that I have doubt

Hi Bastien,

If you would like me to prepare an upload to unstable for this (&
unblock request), let me know. I have some time today & tomorrow - but
travelling with work next week. I have DM upload rights for it.

Only asking in case you are already working on it.

Cheers,

Ross
