Bug#91276: [PROPOSED 2001/03/25] update policy to match new serious severity

[Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: wishlist

According to bugs.debian.org:

]    serious
]           is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, it violates a
]           "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package
]           maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.
        -- http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer

According to policy:

]      These classifications are roughly equivalent to the bug severities
]      _important_ (for _must_ or _required_ directive violations), _normal_
]      (for _should_ or _recommended_ directive violations) and _wishlist_
]      (for _optional_ items).  [2]

Policy evidently never got updated to reflect the new "serious" severity.
Straightforward patch follows:

--- policy.sgml.old     Sun Mar 25 22:33:31 2001
+++ policy.sgml Sun Mar 25 22:33:52 2001
