It breaks debootstrap which makes it very difficult to construct a clean
build environment, which keeps people from uploading other important
transition packages like say an updated qt3/kde3.
Also imho the critical severity was justified due to
"makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break"
this bug makes the whole system not installable period...
