I think we should try to get this in wheezy.

Preapproved fixes are expressly mentioned in the freeze policy.

In the past, I've asked the RT for preapproval of every perl upload
during the freeze, apart from clear only-RC-bugfixes ones. This worked
OK for squeeze.

I don't see other obvious candidates for wheezy that could be bundled
together with this.
