`critical' is the only severity for bugs that break unrelated software on the system. By moving the z* binaries away, you potentially break every early boot script that relies on them. I'm not aware of any of such, but "unrelated software" doesn't really mean "unrelated Debian packages", does it? > >, even if it is not (easily) fixable. > apart from compiling things statically, do you have any other idea how > to fix it? 1. Rewriting the stuff in C? IMHO the best solution, but probably even more inconvenient than compiling it statically :) 2. Moving libstdc++ to /lib? Probably the more future-proof approach. There's surely other software that would also profit of it (smartctl, for example). I believe to remember darkly about some discussions about that. However, since on a "normal" system /usr/bin takes precedence over /bin you shouldn't really need to divert anything in /bin away for anything in /usr/bin.
