 I considered that was visible enough for the security team to act upon.
 This only affects woody, where two source packages are used, so the
 second one has to be updated.

 BTW, the security team followed my suggestion to create a sarge3
 instead of sarge2 reverting the changes of sarge1 (which had caused
 breakages).  I suppose it would be nice to do a stable upload of
 fetchmail based on sarge3 and 6.2.5.4.
