Setting this to severity important, grave is defined by policy as:
grave
makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data
loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of users
who use the package.
You say it does not work on ppc, but works on i386. If it took over three
years to notice that on ppc, and does not cause you to loose data or
introduce a security hole, I do not see that this is a grave bug, it is
important at maximum. See http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities
I do not have (physical) access to a powerpc machine, can you send a patch?
Or at least a strace? The information you are providing is a little scarce
to do anything about it. Without more input I am inclined to lower the
severity even more to normal, or even minor:
a problem which doesn't affect the package's usefulness, and is
presumably trivial to fix.
