quoting http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities:
serious
is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a
"must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or
release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.
important
a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
So, by suggesting the use of a wheezy-ignore tag you are agreeing that
this is not something that should block its release, which is just
another way of saying that the bug is "important" rather than "serious"
My reading of this bug is that it does not render the package useless to
more than a small minority of its users, and as such cannot be
considered "serious".
If you have evidence to suggest that it is more severe than it seems so
far, you should contribute it to the bug before you continue with this
childishness -- otherwise I suggest you just set the severity to
"important" as it deserves, and spend your time more productively.
Cheers, Phil.
