Fine even if I don't find practically useful the constraint of "all users". In effect without knowing the nature of the bug and the effective affected system, setting the severity to "grave" is a way to stop users from upgrading if they use apt-listbugs. Probably the problem arise from the superposition of "priority" for developers and "severity" in the same tag.

X doesn't start so it "makes the package in question unusable", not to mention that it makes all packages requiring X unusable. I don't want to polemicize but before assigning the severity I read the guidelines and grave seemed to fit. I think "grave" is the less serious severity level that will block upgrade if you have apt-listbugs installed. You're welcome to correct me so I'll do a better work in next bug reports. Upgrading from 1:7.8.0-1+b1 to 1:7.9.0-1, PC boot but I get a black screen with cursor on the top left, I can't switch to console, xorg log just say [28.383] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based. [28.441] (EE) [28.441] (EE) Backtrace: Please attach the full Xorg log file and output of dmesg corresponding to the problem. dmesg doesn't report any error, only difference between the working box is different way to load fb since one box doesn't use grub efi and a slightly different video board. All software is at the same version level, the motherboard is the same and the CPU are nearly identical (AMD FX(tm)-6300 vs 6100). Is there more information in the Xorg stderr output? Maybe try setting the environment variable EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug as well for that. See atachments.

Black screen, text cursor at the top right corner ( _ ). Newer xserver-xorg-video-radeon with that option DOESN'T WORK. But I can't see the text cursor (_) anymore. Just black screen. X log is the same. Recent upgrade to 4.11.0-1 kernel didn't improve the situation. Downgrading xserver-xorg-video-radeon and removing that option makes X work.
