severity 691282 normal thanks FWIW -- although you are "generally" correct, at times of freeze experimental virtually serves 'unstable' purpose for anyone willing to roll with Debian (not to say some crazy people might even "develop" Debian using Debian). In my case -- version of HDF5 in unstable was segfaulting (h5dump tool), I needed to verify that experimental version does the job fine (which it does) but now h5py is broken completely -- hence was the report and meanwhile manual rebuilt to get system into a working state. And hence the 'normal' priority due to a special status of experimental ATM, since I believe I would not be the only case running into it, since not only "bleeding edge" people would use experimental ATM.
Since we are in freeze, my whining about a single particular segfault in h5dump most probably would be ignored in unstable/wheezy, and experimental version cannot be uploaded to unstable due to freeze procedure recommendations. So would you maintain your position that I should stick to unstable with a non-working for my case version? I would leave the decision to the h5py maintainer on either he would consider it of normal of wishlist priority.
