I seem to have missed this.  So, belatedly:

Hooray!

Thank you for taking care of our users' security.  I'm pleased to see
Debian getting this change early.  Please carry on.

And: is there a way I can make this change in an installation of
jessie or earlier ?  That would be useful for various testing
purposes, and also might be appropriate in production systems where
security is importand and breakage has a limited impact and can be
fixed easily.

Thanks,
Ian.
