For what its worth, ubuntu pushed 3.14 to all of its releases through
their security update channel:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1763-1

It also looks like bumping nspr was also required:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1763-2

Do you want me to look at preparing those updates for squeeze?

In the meantime, this should really be fixed in unstable.  Mike, do
you want to do a maintainer upload, or is ok if I go ahead with the
nmu?

Thanks,
Mike
