Stefan, thanks for attending to this bug. Your debdiff is incomplete however because it patches debian/changelog. As for the binary package, we don't submit those in Launchpad but instead submit patches to source packages in the form of debdiffs. These are then reviewed and applied to source packages, then uploaded to be built, tested and eventually published to Ubuntu users.

Since this is an important update and in the interest of time, I am going to incorporate the initial patch you submitted (the one from Debian) to 11.10 - 12.10 (this is already fixed in 13.04).

If you are interested in contributing to Ubuntu in this manner in the future, I suggest you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Packaging. Thanks again :)
