Comment 13 for bug 293397

shows it did enter the main repositories.

As usual, the fix is always released first on the development release (9.04 here), to include it in Intrepid would mean a request for an SRU, which can take a while to get processed (and I'm not the one deciding if it gets accepted either).

It should be possible to just assign it to Intrepid in this bug though, but no guarantee the archive admins are going to accept it in a stable release.
