I don't think a new release should contain any known security issues,
and if I recall correctly this was already deprioritised in 0.9.6, it'd
disappoint me if this happened again. Is it still called "cherry-picking"
when all the patches are taken into the packaging, or is there something
to exclude from the Debian package (if I'm informed right, 0.9.7 is to be
a bugfix-only release)?

I would also like to work on a fix for CVE-2018-8002 if it's understood
that it would entail a technical limit for nesting as there are limits
given in an appendix of the PDF spec (free PDF32000_2008.pdf). For me,
getting acceptance on what should be in the special (documentation)
revision 2000 (see other ML post, please) would come first.
