As I stated in the original bug report, I don't quite agree with the
security hole characterization of this bug, as it is essentially
imposible for liferea to detect a hijacked feed.

This bug is currently the only reason for liferea not to be in lenny.
Since upstream has stated that the 1.4 series will *not* be updated to
deal with this issue, and I lack the time for now to attempt a backport,
this means a fix for this will not be ready before the freeze.

Would I be justified in downgrading this to important?
