Wrong.

1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) 
break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems
                  where you install the package.

does *not* fit. installing OOo does not introduce a security hole for
your whole system. Besides that you need a special-crafted WMF anyway.

2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all users, 
or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
                  accounts of users who use the package.

More or less, but this is a local exploit where you only can exploit the users' 
rights whjre you already are using it

I'll make it important, see #405679, too

Discussable. See #405679.

Yes. Because we are not affected AFAIS.
And WTF are you filing a new bug when there already is #405679 for this?
And where that bug is marked as pending?

I'll probably upload a new package anyway, but you really should learn
how to use the BTS (hint: tags and severities and how to look for bugs)

Gr??e/Regards,
