Oops, I should have mentioned squeeze.  The first affected version in 
squeeze is 1.3+dfsg-4+squeeze2.

snapshot.debian.org is useful for finding older package versions.

The "2" has nothing to do with the package's version number; it's the 
numeric portion of the library's soname:

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soname

The numeric part of the soname is changed (a so-called "soname bump") 
whenever there is a backward-incompatible change to the library ABI. 
Debian and Ubuntu include it in the package name to allow multiple 
ABI-incompatible versions of a library to be installed in parallel.
