severity 317953 grave
thanks

So apparently this bug is important enough to keep people from being able to
use the program, and to make them grumble about it on IRC and in blogs, but
not to make them touch the BTS and raise the severity... <sigh>

amd64 is a release candidate architecture for etch; even though it is not
yet included in the main archive for logistical reasons, broken packages on
amd64 should be treated the same as broken packages on any other release
archs.  *Build failures* are of lower severity when they're specific to
amd64, because for our purposes there are no packages that have been
officially built for amd64 and therefore no build failure is a regression
(yet), but other RC bugs should certainly be treated as RC.

Yes, this failure is due to a bug in python2.3, but seriously -- this isn't
Java, and zip files aren't cool.  I really can't see any good reason for
obfuscating the python files in this manner within the Debian package.  (I
can think of some good reasons for doing so when distributing a bundle
*outside* of Debian, but they don't apply here.)  Please, stop shipping
quodlibet in a zip file, so that amd64 users are also able to use this
package.
