Downgrading the severity to important after discussion on IRC since:

* There is no data loss.
* There is an easy way to solve the problem (Ctrl-C + "aptitude keep").
* The problem is likely to appear only seldom(*).

(*) Nevertheless #841506 looks similar, but neither has much details
    nor any endless loop. (And is also only of severity important,
    too.)
