What is particularlly insiduous about this issue is that it could
easilly be activated by accident if the maintainer or a NMUer builds and
uploads a new version of the package on a system/chroot that happens to
have hardening-wrapper installed (most likely left over from building a
previous package).
IMO because it can lead to packages that were not previously broken
breaking after a rebuild this deserves a severity of at least normal
