Yay for the quick ftp-masters.

I preferred to downgrade to important for now, and plan to fix the bug
with a minimal upload post-freeze.  Thanks to #debian-arm, there is now
a fix for armhf/arm64 as well (-ffunction-sections is the required
compile flag to make it link fine). 

In theory, it does not even require a sourceful upload, just setting the
FFLAGS1 environment variable to -ffunction-sections, but fixing this
properly in debian/rules along with a fix for the s390x mpi link error
looks like the saner solution.
