Hi Joey, Hans,

has anyone actually tested this patch?


cheers,
        Holger

As a sidenote and as you said you were new to packaging, Hans: I don't think 
it's wise to raise severity just because there is a patch or even because it's 
somehow privacy/security related: the latter is good in principle (but should 
be explained more specific/severe than just that), and the former, well, now 
we have a patch, but also a package removal if noone steps up and does the 
work. 

And this, while important bugs (and not only but especially security related 
ones) with straightforward changes can *always* be fixed, also in stable. So 
raising the severity just caused many people some attention unneededly.

I do think the bug should be RC, I just think the reasoning given in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774898#10 is wrong :-)

justification: Even though it only affects some users, those are *silently* 
affected, and that's pretty serious IMHO.
