Bug Description
<ScottK> Looking at Debian Bug #668227, I'm thinking we should just sync links2. I verified it builds on Ubuntu and I think whatever feature risk the new release brings, retiring the known security issues in more important.
<ubot2> Debian bug 668227 in links2 "links2: security bugs in links" [Grave,Fixed] http://
<ScottK> If some other release team person will second that, I'll copy/paste into an FFe bug and do it.
<Laney> ScottK: Looks good, and the 'several […] security issues' make it seem worthwhile.
<Laney> The changelog doesn't even seem massively featureful, and I smoke tested it a bit. Go for it.
