Yes, send a message to control@bugs.debian.org with something like
'severity 99999 wishlist', or whatever the bug number and new severity
are, as the message body (*not* the subject).

Please do fix up severities yourself, as maintainers of large packages
in particular often have too much to do to spend time categorizing bugs.
It's much easier for them if it's all just there.

Yep - http://bugs.debian.org/, or /usr/doc/debian/bug-* if you've
installed the doc-debian package.
