From what I'm aware, there is currently no plan for that; although


anyone interested in the problem can take the initiative to prepare a
stable-proposed-update.

Here is a link to info about proposed-updates:
http://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates

Here is a link to the info in the security tracker:
http://security-tracker.debian.org/...-2011-1521

Doing some research there will lead to this upstream bug report, which
will likely be the best place to start to determine an appropriate
fix:
