I disagree that the severity should be lowered, because according to
the documentation on bugs.d.o this severity is perfectly fine for such kind
of issues. However I agree that this issue shouldn't hinder us from
releasing (if it would be the only rc bug ;), so in my pov
the release-team should tag this a lenny-ignore issue.

What does release team say about this?

Best Regards,
Patrick
