  Then you are using unsupported mixes. Debian distributions are a
whole, and tested as such. It means that if you do cumbersome mixes of
libraries from old stables with the new one, you'll definitely
experience issues. They won't be addressed anyway, as the maintainer
does not has time to test every combination users could have think of.

  Anyways, there is no way this bug is RC, downgrading it as
appropriate.
