I suppose an item in NEWS.Debian so apt-listchanges showed
it would have been useful; but you shouldn't blindly upgrade
packages anyway. You can always downgrade: 2.18 source
packages are on <http://snapshot.debian.net/>.

I've built and uploaded an i386 2.18.x package to
<http://debian.halfcoded.net/>; it's not built in a pbuilder
chroot or anything, just on my local system to scratch an
itch. Rumour has it upstream will be fixed for 2.21; in the
meantime maybe this will be of use to people.
