This is confusing - it's being marked for stable, but also labeled as fixing a commit that isn't even a release yet?

True - but as you had pointed out, the commit this fixes is set in stone. How do we ensure this bugfix is picked up as well when the other patches are backported? Does that  happen automatically, or do I need to add a Link: tag to the patch being fixed?

(Greg didn't seem to object to the Fixes: as such, just to the incorrect version prereq)

Cheers,
