When and escpecially why should that have been changed?

And: usually the packages _are_ built from source if they are for
architecture: all, at least for all-1 architectures.

So, the bug is certainly RC, severity either serious or even grave.
It's not the question how easy a bug is to solve which decides about
its severity. So, please {maintainer, release-manager} set the
severity back to a RC-grade.

Question: Does policy need a clarification about this?

Andi
