Hi Raphael, hi Florian,

the fix for CVE-2014-6633 [1] caused a regression on the creation of strict
sequences [2]. What is the best way to prepare the packages with the fix for
[3]?

- just doing another package for security.debian.org (it seems they are not yet
  published?)
  * tryton-server (2.2.4-1+deb7u2) stable-security; urgency=high
  * tryton-server (1.6.1-2+squeeze3) oldstable-security; urgency=high

- or preparing a package for proposed-updates
  * tryton-server (2.2.4-1+deb7u2) stable; urgency=medium
  * tryton-server (1.6.1-2+squeeze3) oldstable; urgency=medium

Cheers,
Mathias
