That is of "important" severity. Work has been done to mitigate the effects of
that bug. Not resolved indeed, but worked around so it's not a critical issue
anymore: it will work for most systems and conflicts with environments that
may be insecure.
There has been a message to that bug 4 months ago by the NMU'er saying why he
thinks more information is needed before this could still be considered as
RC. Currently only "it might crash with unknown pam modules" is the best
available information, and no-one has gotten around to adding any
clarification to that in the past 4 months.
I don't know the policy on re-including packages, but bug #318123 should not
be the thing blocking it unless there's more concrete evidence regarding
which situation will expose users.
