Hi Russ,

I'm asking for you help doing the below security uploads.
(Of course any other interested DD is also welcome to step up, Russ
seems very busy nowadays.)
The advisory URL is wrong in the commit message on the wheezy branch,
but there's not much I can do about that.  Sorry.

There will also be a wheezy-backports upload, once these are cleared.

I can tag the respective Alioth branches once the uploads are made.

Concerning the tags: what's the trick to get gbp include the .changes
text in the annotation?  Or is it manual work?

Thanks,
Feri.

Sorry, I definitely can't for the unstable part. You should do as usual.
I can try to build a wheezy one but it might be faster if you ask your
usual sponsor.

No, we don't handle backports.

The squeeze-lts team might handle the squeeze part, but I don't think
squeeze-backports are still supported or worth it.
