Package: reportbug-ng
Version: 0.2007.08.20
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Too many users files bugs with a wrong severity because there is no 
explanation when choosing severity in reportbug-ng.

Another bug reporting tool does this quite nicely like this:

1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) 
break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems 
where you install the package.
2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all users, 
or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the 
accounts of users who use the package.
3 serious         is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem 
is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive); may or may not affect 
the usability of the package. Note that
                  non-severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' 
or 'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate other bugs 
as 'serious' and thus release-critical; however,
                  end users should not do so.)
4 important       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a 
package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
5 does-not-build  a bug that stops the package from being built from source. 
(This is a 'virtual severity'.)
6 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole 
package; for example, a problem with a particular option or menu item.
7 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic 
errors that do not affect the core functionality of the package.
8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.


That other tool do also require a detailed justification for choosing a 
justification for the report.
For example, if I choose 2 grave, I need to answer one more question:

You are reporting a grave bug; which of the following criteria does it meet?

1 renders package unusable      renders the package unusable, or mostly so, on 
all or nearly all possible systems on which it could be installed (i.e., not 
a hardware-specific bug); or renders
                                package uninstallable or unremovable without 
special effort

2 causes non-serious data loss  causes the loss of data on the system that is 
unimportant, or restorable without resorting to backup media

3 user security hole            introduces a security hole allowing access to 
user accounts or data not normally accessible

4 unknown                       not sure, or none of the above

 - and if unknown is chosen, the severity is automatically downgraded to 
normal.


Reportbug-ng makes it too easy to file bug reprots with a escalated - or 
wrong - severity.

I might have filed this bug reprot with a wrong severity, but I forgot what 
the severities meant.
