Bug#712736: www.debian.org: Severity level information is incorrect



Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities has incorrect
information: it doesn't say that RC severities (critical, grave,
serious) do not apply to experimental, even when a package is known
to be completely broken. Thus this gives false information to the
user who tracks such bug severities.

An example:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=21;bug=702309

(the severity has been downgraded to important only because the
package is in experimental).
