At this point in the release process, I really think upgrading with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE disabled is the correct fix.  Just increasing a buffer
size is usually not a good idea; that's the sort of change that can paper
over a deeper problem without actually solving it, just temporarily hiding
it.  At the least, I think it would require more testing than we would be
able to do at this point.

My recommendation is to apply the change suggested in the bug log to
disable _FORTIFY_SOURCE for the wheezy release, and then, post-wheezy,
upload the package with _FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled and possibly with the
buffer size increased (maybe after discussion with upstream).

Does that sound like the right move?  Would it be helpful for someone to
assist with an NMU?
