Hmm, Debian and other long-term support distros are kind of in a tricky position with problems like these. On the one hand, they don't want to break things, so they'll often make changes like these relatively late. But on the other hand, someone might still run a current version of the distro in 2038, so they actually want to solve it as early as possible, too.
