Dear Daniel,
first of all thanks for your kind reply.

I waited some time before speaking again, as I was hoping to see some
comments from other people, possibly members of the release team.

Anyway, do I understand correctly that this issue has currently a
practical impact only on boxes where non-packaged (== not included in
Debian) programs or libraries which use libgpgme-pth.so or libgpgme+
+-pth.so are installed?
Could you please confirm this?

Please do not misunderstand me: I am not trying to argue about the
severity of the bug (whether it is a Policy violation or not, and so
forth...).
I am just trying to clarify which users should avoid upgrading
libgpgme11 because of this issue and which users may safely upgrade
without worrying to break their systems.

Please let me know.
Thanks for your time.
