We have got rather clear guidelines what makes a bug serious: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities serious is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a must or required directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release. http://release.debian.org/lenny/rc_policy.txt Afaict this bug does not match either of them. I care about this because stopping linkage against gnutls OpenSSL compat layer really fixed a serious bug in the packages, and this fix needs to propagate to testing. "Your" bug prevents this or is going to delay the propagation for at least another week. So I would appreciate if you could either back up the severity claim or downgrade the bug. thanks for considering, cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
