I do not see your changes on salsa, the last commit is 3 months old
there.
Did you forget to push?

Actually, this bug is now triggering an ugly autorm on several packages.
And since it needs to travel via NEW, they might end up getting removed
from testing.

@Andrius, since you wrote:

and since this is not doing any damage for now, do you think we could
reduce the severity to important for now?
We cannot do another upload on top of the one we will be sending to NEW
w/o hooping via NEW again, anyway,
so I find it safe to drop the severity for now.

Let me know?
