As it happens this is important but not urgent.  Joey Schulze says
that the right thing to do for the security hole is upload the
minimally changed version.  Then we can get around to the head version
with its new features, dependencies, and packages.

According to J. Bruce Fields:

Sounds good.  I've never done a sponsorship but I suppose it can't be
too hard.

I've been putting off nfs-utils maintenance for somewhat too long (and
thus saving for later reading all messages on the subject); then this
security thing reared its head, and I went for the shortest path to a
new release.  I see some messages from you still unread; once the
minor release is out, I'll read them.
