I was misled / confused slightly by the lack of fixed versions on #994042, where the version tracking implies that unstable is still affected, and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994042;msg=33 not indicating which branch the fix was on (I realise I {c,sh}ould have checked). I've added a fixed version based on your explanation above; hopefully that makes the status clearer. Regards, Adam
