As a side note, 0.47-2 got many other changes besides just the fix for
the Enye test. For a security update, the changes must be limited only
to the specific problem. SRUs are generally more appropriate for minor
version changes, but it will still require a debdiff and getting the
MOTU SRU team's approval.
