While I may agree with the above (I should check, as using the IP used to work), how is this a Severity: serious? Please read the severity definition: 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.). For the canonical list of issues worthing a serious severity you can refer to this webpage: http://release.debian.org/testing/rc_policy.txt . I don't see any violation of the Debian Policy here. Just maybe an issue with the text explaining how to fill the field, especially considering that you've found a workaround. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
