you may want to review what BTS severities are then: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities * serious is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a must or required directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release. none of them apply here so > it seems that severity "serious" is appropriate. is incorrect. it is a spurious file, yes, but it causes no issue, nor now or in the immediate future (if you know otherwise, please provide concrete, actual and realistic examples of why that may be the case) it shouldn't be there but it does not qualify as RC. I dont plan on playing severity ping pong, i'll just fix it, but if you write a whole paragraph to justify an incorrect severity, it's also important to rebut it with what the Debian procedures have decided what is and is not RC. farewell, Sandro
