Hi John,
  Looking on Quantal, it looks like 6.2-9 has got the changes; I don't know if 
it has gone into anything earlier.  The changelog entry reads:

readline6 (6.2-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patches 002 - 004. Fixes:
    - The readline shared library helper script needs to be updated for
      Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion, darwin11).
    - A change between readline-6.1 and readline-6.2 to prevent the readline
      input hook from being called too frequently had the side effect of
      causing delays when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X.
      This patch fixes those delays while retaining the readline-6.2 behavior.
      Closes: #687100.
    - Attempting to redo (using `.') the vi editing mode `cc', `dd', or `yy'
      commands leads to an infinite loop.
  * Make examples Makefile Multi-Arch installable (Shawn Landden).
    Closes: #670030.
  * Fix building with -Wformat-security, and pass CPPFLAGS (Simon Ruderich).
    Closes: #687717.
