Bug#138013: dpkg-dev: dpkg-parsechangelog has a different understanding of urgencies than policy
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.9.19
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Policy 5.3 footnote 2, says recognized urgency values are low medium, high
and emergency but dpkg-parsechangelog accepts critical and doesn't accept
emergency. Here is a patch.

IIRC, aj said critical and emergency were treated as synonyms by the
release scripts but if you want to follow the letter of policy you should
omit critical.
