Bug#682426: Decrease severity



I won't play severity pingpong, but…

Almost any bug never does, that's not a criteria.

If that's the case, asking the bug reporter to actually provide this 
information should happen before downgrading the severity. And that's what the 
"moreinfo" tag says, it's not "encoded" in severity.

Same.

4 is absolutely unproven as we don't have [+1] links.
5 is not a bug-severity criteria.

In _any_ case, you should really always provide the justification when 
changing bug severities and keep [0,1] in mind when doing so.

Finally, according to the initial reporter, for him "printing several 
documents is not possible anymore", this is still a quite serious problem 
IMHO.
