That's FUD! 
Most of the bugs are quite old (1-2 years) and don't apply
to the
current release. The 2 important one are the one you're
dealing with
(embedded neon), and another marked as unproducible.
Some people also find it convenient to post their wishlist
to the BTS
instead of this mailing list.
I currently use my backported version of the package
(http://dl.sv.gnu.org/releases/arch4debian/sarge-backpo
rts/) and I
don't have issues, including with WebDAV - admittedly on
i386.
Anyway, since you're fully aware of the situation, I trust
you and the
security team for taking the right decisions (+ DP 4.3 ).
