Thanks for your patches! A few notes:

CVE-2011-4103 has been assigned to this issue, so I added it to the changelogs.

The maverick debdiff did not apply because the UDD tree you pulled from did not include the changes made to the maverick-updates package. I have applied your changes and created a new package for maverick-security.

The oneiric and natty patches number the patches you added to debian/patches, but they aren't applied in numerical order in the series file. I have adjusted this.

03-fix-pickle-load.diff doesn't list an upstream commit in the DEP-3, and it looks to be an exact patch of what came from Debian. I have added 'patch thanks to Debian' to the changelog.

I fixed some trailing whitespace and non-standard indentation in the changelogs.

With the above changes, I have uploaded updated source packages to the security PPA and will push out once they are built. Thanks again.
