I know this particular scratch is only on the print that was used for the 1995 faces UK widescreen VHS PAL release.
It is not on the equivalent frame of the NTSC version.
Personally I don't see a problem with scratches,grain,gate hairs,colour mistimings or film dirt.
They are part of the film and the theatrical experience.
In my opinion, if these anomalies were preserved on an eventual UOT blu ray release I would be quite happy.But that is my opinion!
