Control: severity -1 important

Hello Andreas Beckmann,

Thanks for your bug report. The storaged package is only in experimental
though so I don't think serious is the correct severity (it's annoying
that it shows up on my personal tracking page as urgent when really
there's no urgency for experimental), thus lowering.

FYI, hopefully this will be resolved by storaged package being removed.

Some more background info if you're interested:

Upstream udisks2 and storaged maintainers are discussing merging
back together.

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2016-November/001764.html

Martin Pitt (DD and udisks2 upstream) is now working on cockpit and is
interested in finishing the work to get it into the archive (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820107 ).
Note that cockpit depends on storaged (currently), nothing else uses it.
Hopefully once the upstream work on merging udisks2 / storaged (and
we know which one of udisks2 and storaged we're getting rid of)
he (or pkg-utopia) will pick up the RFA of storaged if needed and update
the packaging to be in shape for an unstable upload.... or we can RM
storaged.

(Personally I think storaged is the better name but I'd really like
to avoid renaming the DBus interfaces and having to port everything
over.... but lets see what Martin and others finally decide.)

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
