Indeed, this is how I thought the severities were being used. Not in
theory but in practice.

Please don't worry about severities. I will try to be "nice" and will
report them as "important", as there are a lot of affected packages.

But will use some kind of usertags so that release managers are able
to change severities easily. I would love to see this as a release
goal for stretch, but I think it's soon to decide about that.

Thanks.
