Thanks for the quick reply and analysis.

Given that currently only the ipbt in Debian testing is affected, I am
inclined (with my Debian maintainer hat on) to wait for the upstream
fix, rather than carry a change in Debian testing until it's fixed
upstream. Doing the latter risks the build system delta persisting
beyond its usefulness.
Please let me know if you disagree.
(By "minimal downstream diff" I think you mean to minimise the delta
between putty and ipbt.)
