Ok.
But since you are the maintainer for that application and that applications 
fails, you should at least have an eye on this bug.

So what?

Also you did not stated why you droped the severity to important, so I'll put 
it to critical again until I have someone looking at this issue.

I am running a clean sid box, and this bug might appear to other so I think it 
deserves to bo looked on, even in a critical moment like now..
