I consider this still release-critical because if you switch to level 12 you want to use just debhelper-compat = 12 in debian/control and remove debian/compat, otherwise you could just stay at level 11. This affects all Java packages that depend on this kind of functionality and I believe a lot more people will encounter this bug. Not really something you want to marginalize. Markus
