Control: severity -1 important

I interpreted it as a "severe violation of Debian policy." A typo in
the upstream version would be relatively minor, but the last two
uploads, representing ~7 years of upstream development, were
misleadingly broken. I'm no expert, so I've lowered it to important
instead of release-critical. Does that seem reasonable to you?

I agree that removal is disproportionate (and would frustrate me too),
especially since this affects jessie as well. I imagine the easiest
solution (that could be unblocked) would have been to bump the epoch
to correct the upstream version. Regardless it's not marked as RC
anymore.
