Bug#1010415: www.debian.org: please slightly clarify description of 'grave' bug severity

[Andres Salomon]

Package: www.debian.org

Severity: wishlist


On https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer, the description for the 
severity level of grave reads, "makes the package in question unusable 
or mostly so, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole 
allowing access to the accounts of users who use the package."


I believe that this confuses our users (and sometimes developers), who 
read that and think to themselves, "well this makes the package unusable 
FOR ME, therefore the severity must be grave." It's clear from the 
description of 'important' ("a bug which has a major effect on the 
usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to 
everyone") that the intention is for grave to apply to issues that make 
the package unusable FOR MOST USERS. I'm filing this bug because I keep 
seeing bugs filed as grave that make this mistake.


Therefore, I suggest modifying the language of the grave severity level 
description to read (with the new text between asterisks), "makes the 
package in question unusable *by most users*, or causes data loss, or 
introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of users who 
use the package.", with "or mostly so" being removed.



Reportbug's description for grave is "makes the package in question 
unusable by most or all users, or causes data loss, or introduces a 
security hole allowing access to the accounts of users who use the 
package."  Modifying the website language as I suggested would make it 
closer match the reportbug language.

'Why Debian' page problems/omissions

Apparently you renamed 'Debian GNU/Linux' to 'Debian' (thought not all 
users & programmers went along with this) and on 
https://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian now only mention Linux, not 
GNU--creator of Linux's GNU General Public License (GPL) and 
majority/most/all base/core system needed to run OS.  Please give credit 
where due!  (I know some tracking percentage of GNU/Linux OS 
distribtions are GNU count extra applications/games but those aren't 
needed to run OS, and typically incorrectly don't count licenses: in 
another sense GNU includes everything under GPLs, including Linux 
kernel, even if not officially affiliated on gnu.org.)

I'm not on Debian mailing lists (I prefer strictly Unix[-like]: 
*BSD/OpenSolaris/IllumOS, Slackware... also used Debian 1997 to early 
'0s and occasionally use Devuan) but you can send/CC me replies.
