I guess you refer to policy when it says that we could match "must"
with "serious" and "should" with "important".
However, the BTS documentation says that important means "a bug which
has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it
completely unusable to everyone".
Not having a debian/copyright file in the source package does not
affect usability of the package in *any* way.
So: Why is this a "should" at all?
