0.95.2 is already in backports for dapper, hardy and intrepid. So concerned individuals can enable backports and grab the 0.95.x release. And if I'm reading the wiki page correctly the plan appears to transition these from backports into security or updates.

So the remaining question here is.. how are people going to be notified that they need to enable backports and pull the 0.95 release? When 0.94 gets disabled are admins going to get a local log notification and will they know what to do about it? Hopefully Ubuntu can push these packages out of backports and into security or updates before the deadline so admins won't have to figure it out on their own.
