I believe the package is scheduled to be removed next week, and I'm
still waiting on a discussion with upstream about a (non-trivial) patch
I wrote to attempt to address the problem.

So I wanted to ask for an opinion about the claim here that it might be
reasonable to lower the severity:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808730#20

Thanks

I just wanted to ping you, since today's the removal deadline.

Yes I think we can downgrade the severity for it to important, since
the attack vector is mitigated by the symlink restrictions enabled.
