Hi,

First of all, a serious bug report is not any "bad stamp" on a
developer, but just a tool for us all to make sure that all packages in
Debian are quite good quality, and that the release team doesn't loose
track of issues that need to be resolved pre-release.

As far as I can see, this bug report tells:
"if the package is re-built, it degrades functionality"

If this is true, how do you think should e.g. a security update or a NMU
look like? If the security team fixes an bug, and uploads a new package,
users might detect that their setup is no longer working.

Of course, there is also an official answer on the question why this is
serious: http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt
| Packages must list any packages they require to build beyond those
| that are "build-essential" in the appropriate Build-Depends: fields.


As the results of the builds look different, what I can offer is to
pbuild the package tonight, and see if it works here.


Cheers,
Andi
