Please find the debdiff to my proposed stable update attached to this
email.  With your permission, I'd like to upload to
stable-proposed-updates so that this fix can be included in
squeeze_r1. Feel free to point out mistakes in the version numbering or
upload target, I'll fix that then before the upload.
