Hello.

I just would like to point out that the maintainer of a package has
always the freedom to apply the serious severity for bugs in their
*own* package (i.e. it is not really necessary to mention any
precise item in policy).

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

serious
[...]
or, in the package maintainer's [or release manager's] opinion,
makes the package unsuitable for release.

Thanks.
