How can you argue this bug "breaks unrelated software"? Quod Libet uses
GTK+, as such it isn't unrelated. You would also have a hard time
proving this bug is release-critical in any sense, as nothing "breaks".
This is a minor usability issue.

This isn't an API change, but a UI change. Debian doesn't make any
promises about UI stability, only upstream does.
