Ouch.

It needs separate bugs, of severity "serious". That way it will get the attention of maintainers, and each package will be kept 
out of releases until fixed. You can probably make a little script to file the bugs.

I don't think this qualifies as a "mass bug filing" [1] but you can check the recommendations for those anyway.

That's greatly appreciated.
