Your first reference (the Debian bugreport) seems to have been updated
in between. The bug is now "serious", and I think this means the
package will be removed from testing (and therefore the future stable)
after some time unless someone closes the bug (2 weeks IIRC).

That seems to be a good solution: people using unstable can use a
reasonably recent snapshot, and this eliminates the worst-case senario
of someone complaining about broken Xinarema in 200612xx in 2010.
