So this makes it an important bug ("a bug which has a major effect on the
usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to
everyone") which even qualifies for an update in stable (*). So if the patch
is small and straightforward, getting it into testing via unstable, should be
fine too. (Obviously the release team might decide they really want to
concentrate on rc-bugs only atm and fix this bug later, once stable is
released...)
cheers,
Holger
(*) according to the rules which are in effect for lenny now. Dunno how
squeeze will be:-)
