Control: severity 1111118 grave

trickle: Could not find overload object

I'd argue that trickle is sufficiently broken in this state to warrant
severity "grave", so adjusting accordingly.

It seems this very bug was already patched out by Axel Beckert in
1.07-11[0] using the fix-overload-search-path.patch[1], but this change
gets reverted in a later patch merely called "gh34"[2] and containing no
description beside DEP3 boilerplate. This looks quite messy, especially
since there is another patch merely called "more"[3] that also contains
no description beside DEP3 boilerplate.

Hmm, d/copyright[4] lists an upstream that doesn't offer this version
1.08, so it seems this "+ds" is supposed to indicate a Debian-specific
fork? Where does this source come from?
