Control: severity -1 important (Not the maintainer of this package, just passing by.)

I don't seem able to reproduce a failure to build from source, using a minimal (sbuild) sid chroot on amd64. I'm therefore lowering the severity for now. Maybe there's some flag (e.g. --enable-*/--disable-*) missing which could explain a failure when some extra packages are installed. If such flags don't exist and some auto-detection is buggy, Build-Conflicts might be a handy way to avoid this kind of FTBFS until the root issue is solved. Mraw, KiBi.
