Thank you very much for your patch.

However, how do you justify the serious severity ? Appendix F says
nothing about a "must".

I checked with the release managers on #debian-release (I wasn't sure  
myself, for precisely the reason you say) and was advised by Steve  
Langasek that it should be 'serious'
