grave bugs mean a package is unusable for everyone, and that it thus
won't be a loss to anyone if the package is removed. apt works fine for
me, so that's obviously not the case.

A segfault on its own that doesn't reoccur is just a normal bug, and that's
all there was any evidence of that I saw. If it's reoccuring and happens
no matter what, that ups it to important, but not grave.

Cheers,
