I spent some time looking at this too, but from the perspective of what
upstream release branches have these commits.

They are on stable-3.4, which is version 3.4.2 (and is the closest to
3.4.0, which is what we have in jessie/sid), but upstream didn't apply
them to stable-2.0 (wheezy).  So I think the patches will need to be
cherry-picked or hand-applied to our source versions.

We'll also need to create security-${RELEASE} branches in the pkg-java
repo for this, as 3.5.2 has already been staged on master.

I do wonder how many of our users are running case-insensitive file
systems though...
