bug report against calamaris: what severity?



Under the default setting, calamaris (version 2.42-4) stores
its output to files under /var/www/calamaris.  Because /var/www is
the default DocumentRoot of apache, this may overwrite
the contents of the web server.  I can configure calamaris
with debconf when I install it, but only when I set the priority of
debconf medium or lower.  If the priority is high or critical,
the only time left to prevent /var/www/calamaris/* from overwritten is
till the next cron run.

I think this behavior is annoying, and I want to file a bug report
against calamaris.  What severity should I use?
1) serious, because it overwrites what the webadmin writes without 
   prior permission, resulting a data loss
2) important, because it is not worth RC bug; /var/www is not defined
   in FHS
3) wishlist, because /etc/calamaris.conf is a configuration file
   and the fix is pretty trivial (modifying 2 lines)
4) no bug file at all, because this is a feature; you know what
   you are doing, and root should unpack and check .deb before
   installing it
