If there's ever been a security update for the library, or it's likely
that a buffer overflow or similar would have security implications, then
I think it's definitely more than just wishlist. For example, it's a
pain to patch all those (subtly different) versions of xpdf code
dispersed throughout Debian on every security update of xpdf.
