Please change this to severity "normal" or perhaps "important".

Official description of severity levels
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities
says:
grave
   makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package.

- This package is completely usable under GNU Emacs
- Reported problem does not really cause data loss, but some minor garbling
- No security hole reported.

I too rely on crpyt++el to store passwords, and I used to use XEmacs
all the time, but I switched to GNU Emacs because of a crypt++
failure.  I did not have these symptoms; rather, I would simply get a
blank buffer.  This was reported as http://bugs.debian.org/230584 but
later it became clear, because crypt++ works in GNU Emacs, that it is
not a crypt++el problem but an XEmacs one,
http://bugs.debian.org/250314, which has only partially been resolved.
I assume that there is insufficient interest on the part of XEmacs
people and/or crypt++el people to make them compatible, as it has been
several years now without resolution.

Consequences of marking this "grave" are that it is removed from Etch.
It in no way increases the attention given to this bug, nor speed its
resolution.  This is important to those of us using GNU Emacs who rely
on it and use it without problem -- it is now gone from Debian and
needs to be manually fetched.

Thank you.
Liam Healy
