Ubuntu has patched Feisty's 9.3.4 to 9.3.4-P1, and as noted it appears
to be "safe" but the current *security* recommendation is to upgrade.

That's why I don't think it's quite the same question "as when will [my
favourite package] be upgraded". This is a security issue.

Does your statement still stand?
