Thanks, Alexander. Doesn’t happen here either on a highly customized 
Debian Sid installation.

Lowering severity.

P D, thank you for your report. "renders package unusable" is not the 
right severity if the package is just unusable for you. It is the right 
severity if it makes the package unusable on most of all Debian 
installations. This is certainly not the case here.

So please do not use a release critical bug severity if it is not 
appropriate¹.

Also please note that Kali Linux is not Debian GNU/Linux. So please 
retest any issue you have with Kali Linux with a pure Debian GNU/Linux 
install before reporting it here.

So please retest with a pure Debian GNU/Linux installation. If you 
cannot reproduce the issue there, I'd close it.
