Right, should still be in the DELAYED/x queue.

And I already apologized about missing your mail while I just uploaded
the NMU. (Consider that the bug was marked as RC since September without
anyone else caring.) And I tested the change, for sure. E.g. built
nearly the complete archive with it on powerpcspe. Still considering the
fix appropriate and didn't hear about technical reasons against it. Feel
free to solve the issue differently on a subsequent upload, no matter if
before 0.63.2-1.1 hits unstable or not.

So can we please concentrate on actually solving issues instead of
discussing severities of already fixed bugs?

Thanks and peace,

Roland
