I don't have bug numbers, but I guess this includes most serious bugs
filed with the reportbug tool. From the /usr/bin/reportbug source:
elif severity == 'serious':
justification = ui.get_string(
'You are reporting a serious bug; which section of the '
'Debian Policy Manual contains the "must" or "required" '
'directive that it violates? (E.g., "1.2.3") Just type '
'"unknown" if you are not sure.', force_prompt=1)
if re.match('[0-9]+\.[0-9.]+', justification):
justification = 'Policy ' + justification
elif not justification:
justification = 'unknown'
The "E.g., 1.2.3" note may have lead people to use section numbers
here.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
