First is the definition of severities on
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities, 'Release Critical' is
another problem.
That is: if they are not fixed, the
next release of Debian should be postponed.
Yes, makes sense.
Do you really think this qualifies?
Yes.

No, it is not unusable. The system works fine, it is just one loasy

Impact for the user: high (depending on his proficiency with Linux);
impact for the system: null.
It makes unrelated software on the system break, (critical)
OR at a minimum
It has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering
it completely unusable to everyone. (important)
