I fear you misunderstood my mail.
Getting attention for this bug was only a secondary objective of rising the 
priority. The first was that, imho, the severity "grave" is the correct one 
for this kind of bug:

grave
    makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data loss,
    or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts
    of users who use the package.

KFloppy _is_ unusable for many people. (read: those people who have udev on 
their machines)

Until now I never had to change the priority (or anything else) of a 
bugreport, i saw how Marco D'Itri did it and missed that he also sent his 
mail cc to control@bugs.debian.org. Hopefully this mail will finally rise the 
priority.

You're right, this is also an upstream-issue. Anyway the kfloppy-package is in 
no condition to be released with sarge. In such a case it's imho better to 
file a bugreport than just ignoring it.


I'm sorry for any trouble I caused and am willing to help to get this bug 
fixed asap, although i cannot do this by coding a fix myself, since my 
abilities are just too limited.
