This is a bogus justification for a 'grave' bug.  Not only is cmake not
"unusable or mostly so", the package *is actively used* by 16 source
packages that use it for building -- including cdrkit.  Apparently, the most
serious bug cited in cmake 2.4.4 is an incompatibility with *Windows* which
has no direct relevance to what Debian ships.

Perhaps it should be updated in etch, but the current version is not
unreleasable (and it's also not expendable due to the aforementioned
reverse-dependencies).
