All bug reports are posted publically on the bug tracking system so that others know the state of the packages they're installing as well as being able to help triage bugs. I'm curious as to why you wouldn't have filed the bug had you known it would be publically archived. There is no sensitive information in your bug report and not reporting it prevents a possible bug in the software from being fixed. > 2.

It's possible to adjust the serverity after the fact (as I've done with this email), so it's not necessarily a problem that it wasn't set during the initial bug filing.
