I do not intend to make a fuss.
When I invoked reportbug, I carefully looked into the
description of severities, and the description for "grave" is
grave : makes the package in question unusable by most or all users
and moreover reportbug clarifies that the justification to choose is
renders package unusable : renders the package unusable, [...]
; or renders package uninstallable [...]
and this is exactly the case. If you do not like the severity
descriptions, then you should complain to people who are in charge of
them.

FYI, because my chipset is 9400M, and nouveau is not supporting it yet.
9400M is the chipset used in Apple MacBooks; so this is a high
priority bug at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18638
but it is also 2 years old and unfixed.
And, BTW, the vesa X driver presents a blurred screen that really
sucks, texts are hardly readable.
