Mark, did this upload get lost somewhere?

This CVE is now fixed in wheezy-security and uploaded for
stretch, but not yet for jessie.

And in a related topic:

#786661 apt-cacher: Does not work in inetd mode - fails to create /var/run/apt-cacher

This RC bug was reported against the version in jessie and is still 
unfixed there.

Could you add this fix and then send a debdiff to the bug so that Adam 
can approve fixing also this issue in jessie?
