This is not what was said when this was discussed (in debian-user?). It was said that this was just preventing removals. I've never said that I wanted downgrades, which should never be proposed (unless explicitly requested by the user). > I'd don't consider this "grave" at all, as it neither "makes the > package in question unusable or mostly so", nor "causes data loss", > nor "introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of > users who use the package". Well, then it should be "critical" because https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html says "makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break" (not all downgrades break the system, but this is a possibility). > I though never ran into that issue (despite having > Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Remove-Level set to "maximum" which should > have a very similar effect), so I assume that possible further > non-default settings could have caused this.
