Oh. In the package maintainer's opinion. I had missed that part;
my apologies. No, I don't claim a policy violation on this one
and of course I'll defer to the package maintainer's assessment.

I do find the bug scary, though, due to the possibility of silent
corruption, and have been running a privately patched version of the
package for that reason.
