Markus,

Thank you for this explanation, and sorry to have started the noise
about the CVEs in this unrelated bug report.

It wasn't entirely obvious outside the Debian project that the security
team had made a positive decision -- all I saw was bug #696306, with
unanswered requests by release managers for a stable upload.
(I now see "[wheezy] - freeciv <no-dsa> (Minor issue)" on
security-tracker.debian.org, which I assume is the record of this
security team decision, but it's a bit cryptic. In any case, it seems
like a reasonable decision for the project to have made, given the
nature of the vulnerability.)

Thanks also for considering the fixes for the wheezy point release.
