Jens is the _upstream_ maintainer, so in a good position to know when a
fix will be released. He has release several test candidates so far.
I am the Debian Developper for XForms, and have a lintian-clean debian
directory ready for the next release with a soname bump. I
test-packaged the last candidate and built the xcolmix package that
depens on libforms without issues.

Adam isn't maintaining packages related to XForms. He is coordinating
the next Debian release.

As to your other question Adam, a simple rebuild will be sufficient for
the other packages, I will do xwatch, xplot, xcolmix and jazip myself
and will file bugs for the others. kali will get this bug (#558025)
back as soon as I upload libforms2.
(And this all will happen soon, before my old key is no longer accepted
by Debian.)
Thanks,
Peter
