severity 415801 important thanks Lack of SOAP support in reportbug now more important due to the latest HTML changes in the bug tracking system. Some packages do not show the list of bugs, despite saying that there are bugs. One example is exiftran (reportbug says 7 bugs found, but doesn't show them), I have seen others but did not take note of them. Personally I think the lack of SOAP support should be RC, do the maintainers or the release team agree with that?

Please briefly describe your problem (you can elaborate in a moment; an empty
response will stop reportbug). This will be the bug email subject, so write a
concise summary of what
is wrong with the package, for example, "fails to send email" or "does not
start with -q option specified."

How would you rate the severity of this problem or report?
1 critical makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems
where you install the
package.
2 grave makes the package in question unusable by most or all users,
or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use
the package.
3 serious is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem
is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive); may or may not affect the
usability of the
package. Note that non-severe policy violations may be
'normal,' 'minor,' or 'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate
other bugs as 'serious' and
thus release-critical; however, end users should not do so.)
4 important a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
5 does-not-build a bug that stops the package from being built from source.
(This is a 'virtual severity'.)
6 normal a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole
package; for example, a problem with a particular option or menu item.
7 minor things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors
that do not affect the core functionality of the package.
8 wishlist suggestions and requests for new features.
Please select a severity level: [normal]
Do any of the following apply to this report?
