1) to show that this bug is known, that WE DO CARE, and have a visible 
reference to this *still affecting* problem and the corresponding 
upstream bug report, while a closed bug with drop into the darkness of 
the BTS archives.

2) in hope upstream or a future upstream maintainer, or some Debian 
folk, or even us, would be willing to fix this. There's still hope.

3) in fact it may also be considered a very low security bug, as you 
could probably craft a special save game and execute what you want.

If you won't at least keep it with upstream+wontfix tag, then i'm off 
taking care of this package, as this is not how i handle things in my 
packages. I don't move bugs away until they are fixed, or the package or 
related feature becomes obsolete. This is not a threat, this is just not 
how i want to do my job in Debian, nothing personal. You may ping me on 
IRC if you want to discuss this and our co-maintainership.

Regards.
