It was important because Raul Miller made it that. He needed strace to
debug a problem with one of his packages and found that bug. Since he
hasn't responded to my failure to reproduce the problem I was going to
downgrade the severity, but apparently someone beat me to that.

I'm still amazed by the development of strace.. basically it's a nightmare
to work on. Upstream version are _extremely_ rare and there are literaly
dozens of patches floating around, but nobody collects them. I think
Debian actually has one of the most featureful strace's that exist :)
