Yes, that is why I thanked you for submitting your report and suggested 
how you could deal with the minor (though admittedly annoying) problem of 
X not being configured correctly automatically.

The severities critical, grave and serious are intended to be used _only_ 
for issues that are Release Critical. That is: if they are not fixed, the 
next release of Debian should be postponed.

No, it is not unusable. The system works fine, it is just one loasy 
program on it that does not work because it is not configured correctly.
Impact for the user: high (depending on his proficiency with Linux); 
impact for the system: null.

Bug severities are _not_ from the viewpoint of the user, but from the 
viewpoint of the distribution.
