I've uploaded changed packages to the security queue, but only
containing Simon's patch, without any documentation updates.  We still
lack a fair number of builds for etch, so it's still time to do
something about the documentation.  It's less an issue for etch
because I doubt that there is a 1.4.4 version with different behavior,
but I see that updated documentation would make sense for the lenny
version.  If you want me to go ahead with the security errata, we can
still provide updated documentation via stable-proposed-updates.

I've got no particular opinion on the behavior for squeeze yet.  If we
can implement a more appropriate API (or even just a system-wide
configuration option), this would be fine.
