Do you think this is a grave constraint for the program which affects
several users or is this rather some rare usage case.  I'm asking since
Debian is frozen for the next release.  Once frozen no packages will
migrate to the package pool of the next stable release except if a
package shows a release critical bug.  If you confirm that it is grave
i'd increase the severity of the bug and apply the patch which than will
be part ot the next stable release (somewhen in Summer for about the
next two years).  If it is just a rare use case I'd fix it in the
packaging and it will affect only the next release cycle (or people
can install from Debian unstable instead of the stable release).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
