If you do not like the severity descriptions, then you should complain to people who are in charge of them. This is correct severity. However, it is not necessary to report every bug that exists in experimental. this package depends on linux-kbuild-2.6.33 that though does not exist (this is problematic for me, since my video card is not supported by nv, so I have to compile the nvidia module) Why aren't you using nouveau?
