That's not the official definition. The serious severity is reserved for violations of the Debian policy. To my knowledge, the policy doesn't mandate that the X server (or any other package, for that matter) has to work perfectly on every possible setup. > this one makes to me impossible to edit any kind of image except > monochrome...

I realize that it has a severe impact on you personally. However, the severity in the BTS refers to the big picture. The Debian X FAQ (IIRC) clearly states that incorrect behaviour of the X server on certain setups is to be considered normal severity. > > Unfortunately, your report is missing a lot of information about your > > system.
