	I find it very disturbing that a Debian developer thinks it is
 reasonable!!!  not to take a bug seriously unless the severity of the
 bug is ``high enough''. 

	Perhaps this should be added to the NM process -- only let
 people into Debian who actually care about the quality of their
 packages and take all non-wishlist bugs very seriously? 

	Seems to me what needs fixing is maintainer attitude, not the
 bug severity system.
