Sorry, what? No, they're not upstream defaults; I've literally copied and
pasted the upstream's user guide that explicitly says otherwise, in the
other message.

Besides, we're not beholden to whatever upstream thinks; this package is
causing unrelated data loss to the rest of the system in this case; it must
not do that.

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities

critical
    [...] makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
    break, or causes serious data loss [...]

grave
    [...] causes data loss [...]

I've even been generous the last time around, this is actually a critical
bug.
