5.3.7 to 5.3.8 perhaps not (I didn't check this), but we shipped 5.3.3 in squeeze. Upgrading to 5.3.7 and later would introduce the changed is_a behavior, among other things. We don't want to force such changes upon users, and certainly not in security updates. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
