icecast2 (2.3.2-5) unstable; urgency=high

   * Added patch to fix a memory leak.
     Thanks to Gilles Pietri for reporting
     and Jussi Kukkonen for providing a patch.
   * Bumped standards version to 3.8.3
   * Added doc-base registration.

A memory leak is not a security issue so the package in stable (lenny) has not 
been modified. However, a backport has been prepared, see:

I do not exactly call that abandoning its duty ;-)
