Just to keep other people posted, I'll finally wait for 2.16, which is
due soon. See the changelog of 2.12-5 [1] if someone is wondering why
I've been so long between 2.12-4 and 2.12-5. Things aren't always
trivial.

Depending on the timing of the 2.16 release, I might upload
2.12-5~bpo40-1 to backports.org, so that stable users can get a version
newer than 2.8…

> It now will use libgd >= 2.0.34 if available on the build platform, or
> use gd-2.0.35 derived internal sources otherwise.  (gd-2.0.35 included
> security fixes.)

Thanks for outlining this. I discovered when reporting security issues
(embedded code copies) in ardour that graphviz is listed on [2].

 2. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/data/embedded-code-copies?op=file

I'll ensure that the Right Thing is done (i.e. ensuring that an
appropriate version is available during the build, and not using
the embedded copy). That'll help the Security Team keep track of
possible issues in libgd.

Cheers,
