The bug is only RC for the package in testing (I immediately close the
bugs that I file for this issue, as the package in unstable is fine per
definition of the Release Team). As this package isn't in testing, the
severity of this bug is overrated.

However, I have prepared a no-change NMU and uploaded to DELAYED/5.
Please let me know if I should cancel my upload.
