Hi,

Quoting: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities

serious
    is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a
    "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or
    release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.

In this instance, I fail to see which section of the Policy is being
violated.

Anyway, the bug is going to be resolved soon. The only difference
between the important and serious severities at the moment is whether or
not stellarium will be removed from testing and loose exposure to beta
testers.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
