Kumar,

I've just built it here.  It is lintian clean and the patch provides the 
required security fix.  However 2 small points, 1) The logging doesn't work 
as /var/log/festival isn't created (and owned by festival,audio) 2)  
Passwords are displayed by debconf rather than hiding them with *'s.  I'm 
only a fellow maintainer, but I'm sure your mentor can provide appropriate 
feedback on these issues.

Cheers,
Tim
