this regexp was fixed in 0.7.6, thus already in lenny and sid. Since it
is not a security issue per se, I wonder there is a way to get it into
security updates. I would just recommend to install a backport

I am not sure if it is worth to prepare proposed-updates for fail2ban
for etch, thus probably it would make sense to have the bug closed?
