Hi Patrik - there are few problems with the debdiff:

1) It is prepared against the precise-backports pocket. This is not
appropriate for uploads to precise-security since it pulls in changes
unrelated to the security fixes. Please prepare a debdiff against
1.6.1-1+ubuntu0.5 from the precise-updates pocket.

2) As mentioned earlier, the patches are missing the proper DEP-3 tags.
I was going to add those in myself based on the commit IDs that you
provided but since #1 is going to require you to respin a new debdiff,
I'd prefer if you handled that now. Description and Origin are
sufficient.

3) The changelog entry needs a few changes. There's no need to mention the DSA 
since it won't likely mean anything to Ubuntu users. The target should be 
precise-security instead of precise. If adding the DEP-3 tags in each patch 
file, there's no longer a need to mention the Debian git tree in the changelog. 
It would be nice if there was a brief description of the issues that each patch 
fix so that users can understand the reasoning for the update.
 - An example changelog can be found here: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging

4) Runtime testing is preferred. Issuing updates that have only been
build tested has the potential to break users.

Once these issues are resolved, please attach the new debdiff, mark the
bug status as New and unassign yourself. Thanks!
