sigh, it is not *good* but it's not a grave violation as the packages 
still work as intended.

avoid to put critical bugs that would disturb the migration of a package 
that technically works even if it could be conceptually better.

Also note that bugs wrt the new python policy are not RC for packages in 
etch (only packages already with other RC and/or not in etch have RC 
bugs for that policy).

thanks.
