Does the package work *not_at_all* or does it break other packages? Or
is it just one functionality which is not working properly?

If it's just the latter, then this bug report should not be marked as
"grave". Tagging a bug with severity "grave" has ramifications which
can include the removal of the package from the archives and I'm not
sure if that's what you intended.

Please do not file a bug report with severity of "grave" until you fully
understand what the ramifications are and what the purpose of tagging
it as "grave" is. Tagging it as "normal" is enough for 99% of the
cases unless this issue is actually serious, e.g. a vulnerability with
a working exploit.

Just tagging the bug as "grave" does not automatically make people fix
the issue faster. The severity is readjusted by the maintainers anyway
when doing triaging.
