I examined this yesterday; it's clean.  The 2.1.1 orig.tar.gz from 
Debian was taken prior to wordpress.org getting broken into.  Based on 
the report, the described backdoor wasn't present.

To avoid (this kind of) confusion, wordpress.org simply declared all of 
2.1.1 as "bad", just to make sure no one had a bad version.
