from a user point of view the behavior the package isn't working, or in
other words, the package isn't usable that makes this issue grave by
definition of severities.

In my eyes it's not useful to keep this broken package in testing
because using an uncomfortable work around make the binary "work". Doing
so makes the usage of severities quite obsolete.

For me it doesn't look like the binary is segfaulting, at least there is
no message about that. This happen even if I update to the most recent
version of telegram-desktop from unstable (2.2.0+ds-4+b1) which pulls in
some newer rdeps due the QT updates some days ago.

A doable compromise could be to extend the Exec entries in the desktop
file. It should not harm non Gnome + Wayland users.

So I hereby suggest to set the severity back to grave and add a tag help
if needed, that would be a clear statement that the package has a problem.
The world isn't going down if the package is kicked out of testing.
If a newer upstream version is fixing the whole problem than the package
should get an update in Debian too.
