Thanks, both uploaded to security-master targeting stretch-security.

It would make sense to fix ioquake3 in jessie, but I am unlikely to
be able to complete this work any time soon - I probably won't find a
jessie user at DebConf, and soon after I get back I'll be moving house,
so my time and hardware are limited. I'll try to prepare packages so
that someone else can test them (via openarena).

For completeness: iortcw isn't in jessie, so not applicable.
