In which case, the severity of this bug report is “wishlist”. I'm
changing the severity accordingly.

The usability of the package is not affected by the absence of the
documentation *on Debian*, since it can just as easily be used by
getting the documentation from elsewhere.

The severity levels have definitions in Debian. For “important”, the
package needs to be significantly impacted for its usability as is.
This clearly does not cover “lacks documentation”.

This report is valid, but it is “wishlist” severity.

Please report “wishlist”-severity bugs against each of those packages
separately. They do not affect this bug report, which applies only to
a single package.
