There's a new upstream release with this as its only change, and if we 
integrate that now it'll make the next security or bugfix update easier, 
and I'm doing freeze exception requests for other GNOME packages anyway,
so I might as well upload it; but I wanted to point out that the 
practical impact is more like "silence security-vulnerability scanners" 
than fixing an actual vulnerability, so that we don't get the wrong 
idea about its priority.
