I did decide to still do so, so we can have the CVE fix migrate
finally to testing (which took some time as well given there was the
perl transition ongoing). 

I did import already 6.0.5 and will upload next so we get the btrfs
fix. And I have made the bug now as well again back RC severity.

Thank you!

Salvatore
