Hi Hilmar,
first of all thanks for your bug report!

Basically, a package should only be uploaded to stable if one of the following
happens:

* a truly critical functionality problem

* the package becomes uninstallable

* a released architecture lacks the package
=======

One could argue that this is a functionality problem, I can try to open the bug
to the release team and see what they think, I'll include the patch too and a
brief description, I'll add the bug here as soon as it is open (hopefully this
evening at the latest)
