Well, that is discussable, did you check the definition of "grave" in
the reference:
	makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, 
	or causes data loss, 
	or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts 
	   of users who use the package.
So let us check that:
- unusable or mostly so: definitely not, the majority still does not
  use ptex!
- causes data loss: definitely not
- security hole: definitely not

So please don't play with severities, it is "important"
	a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, 
	without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
I have re-adjusted the severity. If you want to consider that ping-pong
play please go aheah and enjoy.

THese changes would create for the majority of the users (those 
not having ptex-jisfonts installed) the warning message you mentioned,
so I am not overly happy with the approach you have proposed.

With the original dvipdfmx package before the take over, how was that 
handled in detail?

Are there any other additions of map files expected? 

We should find a good solution for that. The problem is that dvipdfmx
is now the default program and is even used as dvipdfm, so we don't
want that warning message show up permanently.

For example, *every* *EVERY* xetex run would produce that warning
message, so that is definitely NOT the way to go, sorry.

Best wishes

Norbert
