I didnt mean to imply this. I tagged it "+ sid jessie" to indicate the RC 
severity doesnt apply to wheezy. As the bug is now, it will show up on the 
radar of people fixing RC bugs in stable and I didnt think this test suite 
failure was RC in stable. Turns out I was wrong :)

(But the above is still a general problem for similar cases...)

if the package really doesnt work in stable (and oldstable) at all, it should 
either be fixed there, or also removed.
