Hi Luigi,
The source code now is almost frozen, so it's unlikely (but not impossible) that we can apply the patches
Similar patches were included in pdftex and and xetex (via the shared code), as well as xdvipdfmx and dvips in the last 3 days or so in the TeX Live repository. There is no urgent need, though. If it is not in this release, I will include the respective patches in the Debian builds, only.
