I agree this issue is really not nice. But pulling data through other
packages is justify a severity of grave. Please visit the website on
bugs.d.o [1] about the various severity to understand the right usage of
severity tagging.

The issue in question isn't breaking any policy, raises security issues,
makes the package not usable or is provoking any data loss, so a
severity of critical, grave or serious isn't a correct tagging.
Decreasing the severity to normal.
