Hello I think you should lower the severity of that bug. Especially if it is not possible to exploit.
The same applies to #193263: kaffe_1:1.0.7-3(hppa/unstable): FTBFS: syntax errors unless that is a problem for more arches than hppe. They should both be of important severity, I think. Check that first though.
