That's a straw man argument, at least for two reasons:

* Not every bug sent to the BTS is a bug which make other packages to FTBFS.
* We sometimes increase version numbers to avoid FTBFS bugs.

Therefore, asking for a version increase was not as unreasonable as
you paint it.

If you consider that this is not necessary in this particular case,
so be it, but please don't use fallacious arguments.

Thanks.
