Package: reportbug
Version: 3.20
Severity: normal

I just had this:

...
8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.

Please select a severity level: [normal] serious
You are reporting a serious bug; which section of the Debian Policy
Manual contains the "must" or "required" directive that it violates? (E.g.,
"1.2.3") Just type "unknown" if you are not sure.
> unknown
Severity downgraded to "normal".
Do any of the following apply to this report?
...

I have to admit I was lazy and just went for "unknown" instead of
looking the section up. There may also be a good reasoning for forcing serious
bug reports to carry the section of the Policy that's violated. But I
think at least the text should be changed because people think using
"unknown" does not harm the report. If I wasn't told that my bug report
is only "normal" I wouldn't have noticed at all.
