First of all: thanks a lot.

I would for starters file an RC bug to the version in experimental so users 
know this before it gets installed (thanks to apt-listbugs). This would also 
make the bug more visible.

Then I guess it's either provide patches upstream or wait for a fix :-/

We still have time before the freeze, do you think a new upstream release will 
happen during this timeframe? Else it could be an upstream snapshot.

Thanks a lot Steve!
