I don't understand, why you lowered severity. Did you work around
this problem? As far as I can see version 1.0b1-8 (or did I miss a
newer one?) is still using /usr/bin/perl (which normally points to
perl-5.005) which does not correctly work according to #45596 and
#46275. It's a work around to use /usr/bin/perl-5.004, but this
requires the following changes in the package:
- depend on perl-5.004
- depend on imagemagick instead of perlmagick
- activate ImageMagick in /etc/html2psrc
- deactivate PerlMagick in /etc/html2psrc
Until these changes are done, I think that the bug is still important,
because the package is quite useless with perl 5.005.
