I think the severity was a bit overblown (as deviations from upstream go, this doesn't really make it very far onto the radar). But perhaps you're right that it's time to get rid of it - I had a look through https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5Cbslogin%5Cb&literal=0&perpkg=1 and didn't find anything too concerning. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]]
