Make the severity important then or already.

Now that python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit is no longer built, make the severity serious for the rdep bugreports.

This is similar to transition where a package FTBFS with the new version in experimental which are filed as important, and become serious when that version is uploaded to unstable.

You can already set the severity of #1069574 to serious because you don't intend to have it in trixie.

The autoremoval won't kick in until pyqt5 without qtwebkit support has migrated to testing.
