To be honnest I'm not sure. In the program I tested pstack with there was an 
object with no name in the list of loaded objects and that is what makes 
pstack fail without the fix. I don't know why the list of loaded objects 
contains an object with no name so I can't be sure this happens with all 
programs. Therefore I'm not sure whether this bug has a "major effect on the 
usability of a package" or "makes the package in question unusable or mostly 
so".

Indeed. Probably a copy/paste error. Should I upload a new version to change 
the compat changelog entry to "Set debhelper compatibility to 7"?
