Even then, it's only "serious" if it violates the release policy [http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt]. Hence the reason that > [0] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities says "[...]roughly, it violates a "must" or "required" directive". The final word for what justifies a release-critical severity belongs to the release team (hence also the paragraph on rc-ness at the foot of the documentation).
