Hrm. I’ve never used fckeditor myself, and nobody said anything
about this during the call for testing.

So what do you suggest? We could apply the patch and hope
for the best (if the release team allows) or drop the
mediawiki-extensions-fckeditor package and make the new
version of mediawiki-extensions-base Conflict with it,
to ensure it’s gone, but we will not be able to package
VisualEditor for wheezy now, that we’re in the freeze.
