No.  The bug severity was inflated: the memory leak does not make the
package unusable, it's at most an important bug.  In addition there has
been another upstream release between Squeeze and the version I uploaded
today and larger changes in the packaging.  I don't have to try to know
the release team would reject this.

The only way to fix the memory leak in stable would be to prepare (and
test) a targeted patch against the current version there.

Ansgar
