[Secure-testing-team] Freeze exception request for gnumeric

The gnumeric package currently in testing, 1.8.3-5, is a bit of a mess
(upstream 1.8.3 plus some updates from svn). It is affected by several
issues that are fixed in the sid version, 1.8.4-3, in particular #510929
(crash on old files), #509281 (Εxcel charts import/export issue), and
#513418 (CVE-2009-0318).

A raw diff between the two versions is large, but this is largely due to
updated changelogs and generated files (Makefile.in, configure etc.); the
actual code changes are few but important.

Please consider allowing 1.8.4-3 into testing.
