Are you planning on letting this upload go through stable-security? Because
the changes listed above are not changes that are usually considered
appropriate for the security archive. Especially the latter change changes
the behaviour of php5 on stable which is not something expected to happen
with a mere security update.
I think an upload to security with the security fixes and after its release
one to stable with the other fixes may be the best way to go. CC'ing the
security team in case anyone has further comments.
I'm still a bit wary about just ripping out dbase support in the middle of the
stable lifetime. People rely on the behaviour of a release once it has been
made. Is the risk on negative consequences of keeping it really significant?
cheers,
Thijs
