Is it possible to find the patches responsible for fixing the chroot
thing? The stable version of Debian doesn't accept new versions to fix
security risks (because the new version may introduce other as yet
unknown security risks). Instead, policy is to patch the stable version
with the fix.

The cvsweb access from the website seems to be MIA (404).
