If the reverse depends are not affected, then syncing 0.8.54-4 from
Debian makes perfect sense. I don't think that the rdepends are
affected but I would like to be sure of this before approving.

What about the rdepends? Are those affected by this upgrade of nginx?
Are there any risks of regressions?

If the reverse depends are not affected, then syncing 0.8.54-4 from
Debian makes perfect sense. Even though I don't think that the rdepends
are affected, I still want to be sure of this before approving.
