I didn't realise you had it automated to such a degree :^)

Thank you.

>From Debian official documentation:

grave

    makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data
    loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts
    of users who use the package.

So yes, the severity is *exactly* at 'grave' level as per "makes the
package in question unusable or mostly so" as the package *is* unusable.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing in the Debian Policy which
makes bugs in certain types of packages, i.e. '*-doc', etc., less
*important*.

Kind regards,

Raf
