] serious
] is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, it violates a
] "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package
] maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.

] _important_ (for _must_ or _required_ directive violations), _normal_
] (for _should_ or _recommended_ directive violations) and _wishlist_
] (for _optional_ items). [2]
Policy evidently never got updated to reflect the new "serious" severity.
