You are probably right on some systems.
On this system it was actually worse: It made it impossible log into
the system using gdm, as the Virtual feature is used - and thereby
rendered the whole system unusable for users that do not know how to
use the command line.
Note that the system is _not_ running unstable (in which case you
would expect problems like that now and again) but it is running
testing.

The faulty package should never have made it into testing. Ignoring
the problem and leaving it in testing will cause others to have this
problem, too.
