Hi Aurelien,

Thanks for processing my bug report.

This was my best guess:

Paragraph 4: Libraries should be built with threading support and to be 
thread-safe if the library supports this.

I apologise, I am not really familiar with Debian policy, that seemed like the 
best fit. I couldn't really find something along the lines of "Programs and 
libraries must work as specified and expected, and not fail when used under 
normal conditions."

The other bug was archived so I couldn't add anything to it. This is clearly a 
bug with the existing library in Debian stable, which has not been considered 
in the previous bug report (#637239).

I think it is important that whatever is wrong is fixed by back-porting the 
relevant changes to Debian stable.

Kind regards,
Samuel
