Please do not panic. There is no need to re-(set) severity level to a 
dramatically incorrect value -- see

Thanks. Maintainer may decide to reconsider severity level however at the 
moment he believes that correct severity level is "important".

I'm not convinced that this patch is the correct solution to the problem.
We will follow upstream decision on this. Earlier I gave my analysis of the 
problem in

    http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3208#comment:1

where I've noted that setting TERM="xterm" may be easier workaround than 
patching.

It may be helpful if you remind upstream how important this problem really is.

Thank you but I must say that considering late freeze a correct NMU should 
contain one and only one isolated fix addressing this particular problem.

You can read more about NMUs and freeze here:
