I've just pushed 0.12.5-2 to unstable, and updated the collab-maint git
repository with a wheezy branch.

You can compare the differences pretty easily with git.  the vast
majority of the lines changed are translation updates:

0 dkg at alice:/tmp$ git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/trac.git

I know from working with one of the Mexican translators that there are
valuable changes in the updates done in es_MX between 0.12.4 and 0.12.5;
i'm sure the other translation changes are similarly useful.

Many of these remaining changes are documentation changes and cmlenz
updating his e-mail address throughout the codebase, and upstream's
basic summary covers the rest:

----------------------
Trac 0.12.5 (January 15, 2013)
http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.12.5

Trac 0.12.5 is a maintenance release and contains
a few interesting fixes:
 - upload of .mht files (MHTML web page archive files) now works
   (#9880)
 - more robust parsing of attachment URLs (#10280) and uploaded
   file names (#10850)
 - lots of improvement to the date formatting code, which is now
   much more robust when timezone and daylight saving time
   computations are involved (#10768, #10863, #10864, #10912, #10920)
 - no longer generate invalid JSON encoded data with Python 2.4 and
   2.5 (#10877)
 - ... and a few more!

Trac 0.12.4 (September 7, 2012)
http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.12.4

Trac 0.12.4 is a regular maintenance release and contains
a few minor fixes.
----------------------

I think we can make this argument to the release team after wheezy is
released.

heh.  i think finding and backporting a fix to the jquery would probably
be the best idea.  i'll try to replicate this problem and see what i can
find in the relevant code.
