I had already filed bug report 1759:

cmake_policy(SET CMP0022 OLD) seems like a temporary work-around ---
cmake 2.8.12 is here to stay and we might as well adapt sooner
rather than later. :-)
I just love how upstream changes keep breaking things for everybody
downstream....
C'est la vie.

Part of me says push now, as there are several serious reports still open
regarding removable disk mounting and handling. On the other hand are
already starting to lose people to XFCE because the current stable TDE
version requires HAL and does not work with the latest network-manager
versions.
Thoughts?

I'm afraid that if we wish an official release in early January, now is not
enough time for heroics.
If we push the patch into common cmake module, it would result in rebuild
almost all packages. For Debian and Ubuntu, this represents 11 supported
distributions - all i386 and amd64, 3× armel and 1× armhf. I estimate about
18 days. In case of complications further delay.
With additional time is needed to count due to limited connectivity from
master server. Here is complication compared to previous 3.5.13.2, because
for 3.5.13.2 is already used package format quilt (source tarballs are common
to all Debian / Ubuntu distributions), while the nightly builds still use
format native => will significantly larger volume to synchronize the mirrors.
Number of supported RPM distributions probably also increase.
Just to remind: git tag for 3.5.13.2 was from 2. June (a few fixes 8. June)
and the official release date was 21. July!
