I think in this case the package was already present in testing and
stable-proposed-updates before the bug was found. It was reported as
"grave" and bounced between that and "serious".

Also I am not sure if there are the same processes around this for
packages going in to stable-proposed-updates. The migrations you
speak of are from unstable to testing, and also with "RC" bugs in
testing blocking a full release. But stable updates go straight to
stable-proposed-updates and I don't know if anyone is watching bugs
specific to that when cutting a point release.

Anyway what I am saying is, I'm not sure there is any level of
severity setting that would have made a difference in this case,
only perhaps a lot of people experiencing the problem in time and
shouting about it (or automated testing to catch it).

Cheers,
Andy
