Yes indeed - and there may be many other adaptions in other files, 
depending on the needs of the library. In fact I think therefore many 
libraries do not really install the monthly updates - sometimes they 
even contain new bugs (so oldstable is preferred to stable), also it is 
most of the time very unclear if the publicly undocumented "security 
fixes" are relevant for the actual environment.

Reading this list I often see some libraries which are years back with 
their versions for which of course no monthly updates exist at all.

Feel free to open such a bug report if you see a chance to get it into 
the code.
