You misinterpret the severity levels.
grave
makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package.
This does not render the package unusable, or mostly unusable. The vast
majority of users use GPG to sign their packages, and according to
Javier, the fix is required for at least some versions of PGP.
important
a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
However, it does have a major effect on the usability of the package
(for *some* PGP users) without rendering it completely unusable to
everyone (you can use GPG instead, or the same version of PGP as
Javier).
I am downgrading this bug accordingly.
Thanks,
Scott
