I'm lowering the severity because it no longer blocks the 8.2 transition (please revert me if I'm wrong on that).
In my opinion flaky builds and flaky tests are bad because they cost quite some time of people that are not involved in the package. E.g. in this case Release Team, but imagine a security upload where the build fails. But you have flaky and flaky. https://bugs.debian.org/844264 is an interesting read in that regard.
As somebody that maintains infrastructure and does a lot of QA (ci.debian.net) and is involved in transitions and migrations where I see a lot of flaky tests, I'm biased. But really, a test that fails more often than say 1/5 times is RC in my book. I didn't check the ratio of php-excimer failures.
