Serif used as a default font-family in bugs.debian.org?



Hi,

List items in http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ are displayed with serif
because serif is specified as a default font-family in the root html
element in http://bugs.debian.org/css/bugs.css like this:

  html {
      color: #000;
      background: #fefefe;
      font-family: serif;
      margin: 0;
      border: 0;
      padding: 0;
      line-height: 120%;
  }

I have no idea this setting is intentional, due to following reasons:

- Almost all parts of www.debian.org does not use serif explicitly.
- It seems this font-family setting is not reflected in anywhere else
  in bugs.debian.org (maybe overridden by sans-serif settings).
- Since sans-serif has higher visibility than serif on computer
  screens, serif tend to be used only in some special cases (in the
  top title, etc.).

Could you please explain the intention of the setting, or remove it if
it's wrongly specified?

Many thanks,

-nori
