Cool, thanks for the ACK.

I sent Reinhard my thoughts on bumping urgency to medium while also 
introducing new upstream. It has been advised[1] that this situation should 
still be low urgency so it sees further testing in unstable. Furthermore, 
this bug does not really impact on users of testing, rather backporters of 
the current testing package.

I am however open to Reinhard's interpretation, as I just want to see this 
fixed as quickly as possible.

Thanks, Kel.
