Bug#862373: solved upstream: Unconditionally instantiates objects from yaml data

Hi

Good news: object creation can now be disabled starting from  YAML::XS 0.69.

That said, the default behavior is unchanged (which is reasonable).

This means that any application loading untrusted YAML data must be modified 
to set $YAML::XS::LoadBlessed to 0 before loading YAML files.

I guess this applies to lintian. (I'll check what's required for cme).

All the best
