Re: Vulnerabilities rated medium or low risk may not be fixed by Debian security team, is that correct?

1. If NVD ratings are meaningless to Debian's security team, how does the
security team prioritize which vulnerability should be fixed first before
others?

2. According to https://www.debian.org/security/, it states:

"Debian also participates in security standardization efforts: the Debian
Security Advisories are CVE-Compatible (review the cross references) and
Debian is represented in the Board of the Open Vulnerability Assessment
Language project."

If Debian Security Advisories are CVE-compatible, it means that the former
accept the NVD ratings included in CVEs, yes?
