The popcon for openrc is 83, which, assuming that 10% of users run popcon
(a wild-ass guess) means 830 users. I have no idea what part of this is
unstable, but as openrc in Debian is quite experimental, I guess quite a
bunch of such users are affected.
The breakage is pretty severe -- it does match the description of "critical"
after all. Every affected user would have to research the fix and apply
it manually. Thus, I don't think it's a good idea to ignore this bug,
especially that the fix is easy.

I'll upload it then.

Of course. I don't have push rights to that repository, so two commits are
attached to this mail (one for the fix, one for changelog).

I'm afraid I don't really know inner workings of openrc, I use it on only
one machine (which happens to be my main desktop, but still...). Everywhere
else I'm on sysv-rc. This said, keeping openrc viable seems important for
resisting systemd-ization of Debian so I probably should help in _some_ way.

It can be removed in some time, after the affected systems are fixed.
Meow!
