The html-code for this part is:
<DT><CODE>serious</CODE>
<DD>is a <a href="http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt";>severe
violation of Debian policy</a> (roughly, it violates a "must" or "required"
directive), or, in the package maintainer's opinion, makes the package
unsuitable for release.

So, obviously http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities defines
that "severe violation of Debian policy" means anything referenced in
the etch_rc_policy-document.
