Hi Antoine,

At this stage of the freeze, I think an upload with only targetted
fixes for the most serious bugs would ensure the security issue is
fixed, and fixed ASAP without potentially long round-trip delays.

I had a very quick initial look, and there's a bit more non-critical
changes that IMHO are not worth the review time needed to further
consider this unblock request (nor the risk of regressions) at this
stage of the freeze:
* "add expect parameter to Curl.pm" looks like a new feature.
* The probes/FPing.pm change seems useless for Wheezy that has fping
3.2, but well, who knows if someone will upload something newer in
wheezy-backports..
* "Template support for HTTP auth user" looks like a feature, too
* At very fast first glance, HASH and HOSTNAME looks like new
templating features, but I may be entirely wrong
* The exec CGI changes may be a bugfix for some situations, but the
fix is a bit involved at this stage of the freeze; was any issue
related to this change ever reported to Debian? Or any pointer to
the upstream bug report / explanation how important this is?
Cheers,
