The decision to NMU should be based on a combination of the severity and age of the bug and the *non-intrusiveness* of the fix, not just on the first two factors. When you weigh the benefits of translation NMUs against the risks, it's clear that such NMUs are a safer bet than many NMUs for severity: important bugs that require code changes. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
