Also, during a freeze, only small targetted fixes are appropriate -- this is a bulk new upstream version. There are cases when there's no better way than such a large upload (like Firefox and Chromium these days), but as the patch fixing #927462 is tiny and obvious (although I don't know if it's enough), it strongly seems the large upload is not needed. Thus, could you please extract (and test) just the fix? Only if that doesn't work we could debate uploading the whole new upstream version. Also, although a RC bug that hasn't seen maintainer response within two weeks is eligible for a 0-day NMU, you'd still need to follow at least parts of the procedure. Especially, the upload needs to be marked appropriately: the first line of the changelog should say "Non-maintainer upload.", the version needs to be .1, etc. NMUs are supposed to be small which is similar to during-freeze updates. (Even if such a procedure might seem like an unnecessary hurdle, it doubles as a way to ensure you are aware what you're doing.)
