(although internal to GNUmed, it does cause loss of a patient's data) - grave: "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, ..." (given the above description, it shall better not be used by any medic) - serious: "... or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release." (the easiest one: paste Karsten's description into a bug report and you're done) Hope this helps, Michael [1] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities
