Could you file a bug in the Bug Tracking System instead, so that it
does not get lost (and to not clutter the mailing list)?

More information on how to do that, can be found at:

When filing the bug, could you also attach the output of:

  # dpkg -D77333 -i failing-package.deb

I'll look into it then.
