I'm not entirely sure what happens if I change a normal bug to a security bug, don't want to mess up your existing work, so change it if appropriate.

The CVE-2008-2152 does not affect us since we don't build using the affected part of the code.

I've been running OOo from -proposed since it appeared and see no problems in everyday use. I've also verified most of the bugs described above (apart from some that wre already verified and 224358 which I cannot reproduce). 2.4.1 looks good to me.
