I don't speak for the Release Team, but with my DD hat on I think the bugs
should keep severity "serious" and I hope that the Release Team won't tag the
bugs wheezy-ignore.  The bugs are not so difficult to fix, so I don't see much
additional delay for wheezy.  Actually I appreciate Jakub Wilk's effort of
filing these bugs.
