You're right, but if this bug apparently only affects older kernels, it
should therefore be declared `important' ("a bug which has a major
effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely
unusable to everyone", see [1]) instead of `serious'.
Yes nspluginwrapper might be broken under rare circumstances, but right
now, nspluginwrapper isn't available for anyone using squeeze because
this bug blocks the migration[2]. I just don't see why that is the
better alternative.
What makes the situation worse, is that Adobe stopped Flash support for
amd64 today[3], which leaves amd64 users with this choices:
a) no flash (don't mention gnash - it's beta quality)
b) use older Flash version (0-day vulnerability known)
c) use nspluginwrapper
I think c) is the best solution under these circumstances, so I kindly
ask you or the maintainer to lower the severity, if there are no good
reasons against doing so.
