afaict, the versions in both sid and squeeze only mention "must" or
"required" being serious:
'serious' : """is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is,
the problem is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive);
may or may not affect the usability of the package. Note that non-severe
policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' or 'wishlist' bugs.
(/usr/share/pyshared/reportbug/debianbts.py, reportbug 4.12.6)
Was this in the English text, or a translation?
