I'm slightly torn on this one. Whilst the patch seems "obviously 
correct", it's not applied to the package in unstable, which is usually 
a requirement for accepting a patch for stable. There's an argument that 
it's unlikely that anyone will try to update from squeeze's sympa to 
jessie's without having upgraded perl in between, but conversely the 
patch should work fine with the package in unstable.

Are there any plans to apply the patch, or otherwise update the package, 
in unstable?

That looks fine.
