Thanks for the patch.  My current plan is to upload a new wbxml2_0.9.2-7
to unstable targetted for lenny/5.0 and reverting the patch
08-maxsize-translation-table.patch from the last upload (which is not
yet in lenny/5.0).  Rationale for this is that
08-maxsize-translation-table.patch would also needed to be acked by the
release team, but (as I understand it) is not a critical patch.  So we
would essentially just have 09-devinf-doctype.patch to get acked.  A new
upstream release including 08-maxsize-translation-table.patch will then
hopefully soon get uploaded to unstable.

If you believe that 08-maxsize-translation-table.patch is indeed
critical (or very important) as well, and can write up some rationale
for it, I will try to get both acked for lenny/5.0.
