It will make sure that we won't release the package in this state.

You are right. The appropriate severity is serious.

Sorry, but a working upgrade from stable is IMHO _required_. And in
difference to e.g. glibc this problem here breakes really another
application. And to tell the user to manually slay his programs, or to
reboot his box, is IMHO just plainly no solution. It's ok for debugging,
but not for a stable upgrade.
