Grr. I wonder how a package with an upload two weeks ago meets the
criterium "effectively unmaintained packages". Could somebody please
elaborate? (This is no case of "a package has security bugs
that've been outstanding for four and half months").
I'll downgrade the bug to important

| without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
instead of grave

It is no security bug and people on platforms without signed char can
perfectly use the package ("without rendering it completely unusable
to everyone").
