It just felt wrong to me that this bug (and version bump of the
package) could go to stable without someone at least acknowleging the
bug. AFAICT there's no fundamental reason it needed to go out. If it was
that the reporter should have marked it grave or critical then fair
enough, just unfortunate that they didn't.
Bugs are occasionally present on stable packages.
I have apt-listbugs installed.
By default, it warns about critical,grave,serious bugs on the
package, and asks for confirmation before installing the package.
This provides an opportunity to read the bug and make a decision
about whether to install the buggy package, or hold the package
at a previous version.
Thanks, I will investigate that.
