do you find this solution acceptable? Can we then consider this bug closed?
I feel it is unacceptable, but it comes down to Debian policy and procedure issues I'm not familiar enough to comment on.
The point of this mode is to guide users unfamiliar with Debian policy to make a good bug report, this bug refers to a feature that in some cases they will file a bug as Grave, when it should be Critical.
If Debian procedures ensure Grave bugs are reviewed as promptly as Critical bugs, then this bug is unimportant (but then why have a Critical level in that case?). If not, then this bug might result in Critical issues not being dealt with as promptly as they should.
I don't think we can assume people using a mode to assist them with bug reporting will use an expert mode or other workaround (email the bug system), they may assume that the tool is doing the "right thing".
I appreciate it is difficult, as there are competing interests in reducing spurious reporting of critical bugs, and also of ensuring genuinely critical issues are dealt with promptly.
