I see. I'll fix this bug on the next upload, but I don't think that
it's worth updating it in stable. Thus the severity downgrade to
normal.

After you've added the non-free repository to your sources.list you
can't say that, sorry. Non-free repository is not a part of Debian,
but APT by default happily installs non-free packages. You can pin
different priorities to different components (main, contrib, non-free)
but I never tried that and can't say if it works.

You're correct. It'd be better to rebuild the package, but not in stable.

Cheers!
