I consulted that document when I filed the bug. Quoting
from that document:

"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."

Well, yes indeed, the package is unusable. I can not really
hold a conversation with such severe dropouts. I miss so many
words that asking the other party to repeat is often not enough.
Basically I am without a phone right now.

So, according to Debian policy, this is a grave bug.
