Upstream told me that the supplementary fixes will be released in
version 1.54 as they are not urgent and that we can release the current
set of fixes for now.

He suggested to run the ECPointTest unit tests against the backported code
though. I did not check yet what this involves... and whether unit tests
are run automatically during build or not.

Cheers,
