Thank you for submitting debdiffs for this issue. It looks like Debian had to 
add several regression fixes for request-tracker3.8. In particular:
request-tracker3.8 (3.8.8-7+squeeze5) stable-security; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patch fixing regression in rt-email-dashboards, and
    whitelist search results and calendar helper from CSRF protection
    (Closes: #686392)

request-tracker3.8 (3.8.8-7+squeeze4) stable-security; urgency=low

  * Apply second fix for regression introduced by previous security fix
    when sending email with mod_perl (Closes: #674924) 

 -- Dominic Hargreaves <[email protected]>  Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:31:47 +0100

request-tracker3.8 (3.8.8-7+squeeze3) stable-security; urgency=high

  * Apply fix for regression introduced by previous security fix
    when sending email with mod_perl (Closes: #674522)
  * Provide specific instructions for restarting a mod_perl based
    Apache server (Closes: #674558)

Should these fixes be incorporated into your debdiffs? Based on patch 79 and 
80, it seems like squeeze3 and squeeze4 were incorporated, but not squeeze5 yet.

Also, the debdiff does not comply with 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Packaging in the 
following ways:
 * SECURITY UPDATE is not listed in the debian/changelog
 * The patches do not contain DEP-3 comments 
(http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/). Lack of DEP-3 comments makes it difficult 
for reviewers to verify that the patches are correct. For example:
  * 77_patchset-2012-05-07-3.8.7.dpatch has comments but not the specific 
commit for the patch
  * 78_patchset-2012-05-15-3.8.7.dpatch does not have the specific commit for 
the patch
  * 79_sendmail_mod_perl_pipe_fix.dpatch has comments, but not in the form of 
DEP-3
  * 80_sendmail_mod_perl_pipe_fix_again.dpatch has comments, but not in the 
form of DEP-3

If you are going to resubmit to incorporate the squeeze5 changes, can
you update the debdiffs for the above?

Unsubscribing ubuntu-security-sponsors for now. After resubmitting the
new debdiffs, please resubscribe ubuntu-security-sponsors. Thanks again
for all your work on this! :)
