Fully ACK. That's why the first of the option what could be done was to leave it as local package and do not upload it officially. > In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497779 there is > already a patch by brian m. carlson.

I would consider the severity of this bug to low considering that several applications are broken if we will not fix this problem before the next stable release. Is there anything which prevents an upload of this fix? If there would be no soonish upload I'd consider increasing the severity to make sure it will not be forgotten somehow.
