They look like backport candidates too.

Looks like debian is going to stick with 1.3 for quite while as
current testing is frozen to 1.3.3. But I don't know if they are going
to upgrade to the new stable release or not. If we wanted to support
1.3 as long as there is distros using it I suspect we would need to
backport fixes for a year still.
