sigh. I too would appreciate if these bugs were filed with severity:important
in the first place, not the least to avoid discussions like these. seriously,
these packages are only cosmetically seriously buggy and important (and normal)
bugs should be fixed as well, anyhow. so why inflate the severity and discussions
if the same can be achieved cheaper and much nicer by just using lower severity?
please use important and announce to bump the severity (to serious) in 1-3 months
from now, as these bugs really must not make it into bullseye! but give people
some slack to support your cause. an important bug and being listed on d-devel
is serious enough.
the world is on fire and these are just superficial tests.
