2.49-1 uploaded to unstable, and a wheezy branch with 2.44-1+deb7u1
with the isolated patch created in git.

I'm attaching the diff of the potential upload to t-p-u.

Niko, I assume you contact the release team for an upload of Perl;
can you ask about this upload to t-p-u too or should we handle this
separately?

Cheers,
gregor
