Ok, r397 is supposed to fix this as well for ggz-server now. It also 
integrates a former lenny-NMU of the package, which was a bit dull to 
integrate, are there tools to automate this to make sure no bits are left out? 
(The Ubuntu packages are also based on the NMU, which I'm not sure is the best 
idea, although I might be wrong here.)

Regarding ggz-client-libs, there's a Ubuntu-specific issue: the sprintf 
occurrence was already fixed by Steve Kowalik (CC'd) with a patch very similar 
to mine, although neither upstream nor pkg-ggz was aware of that. In order to 
keep the deviations between packages small, considering that we've got also 
maemo packages based on pkg-ggz now, I'd like to encourage a process within 
Ubuntu which ensures that such changes be always applied in the original 
packages.
My guess is that the patch went in for Intrepid during freeze, but that 
shouldn't mean that Jaunty must carry the same deviations. I don't care which 
of the two patches goes in as long as it's only one of them :)
