I think you are right. While checking, I looked at the source only,
not realizing that it's not relevant for the built binary packages due
to your note.

I changed the severity, and in the security-tracker it is now marked
as 'unimportant', which is the tag used when a source is affected, but
the issue does not affect the built binary packages.

Thanks a lot for checking the bugreport!

Salvatore
