retitle 684144 manually downloaded map cfgs can directly execute text
commands
severity 684144 normal
thanks.

On speaking to the upstream developer, he pointed out that sauer does
not actually transmit map cfg files, that's only something which happens
in Red Eclipse (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684143
already fixed), and that there should be no need to backport this patch.

The issue is still relevant if the user manually downloads a map, but I
take it this is less of a concern, so I'm marking this as normal
severity instead, and retitling the bug appropriately.
