See > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593968 So apparently there are two issues: - migration path from previous 0.6 which apparently just breaks working systems without a clear way to get something working again but dropping one's configuration entirely. Thus marking it serious. - pulseaudio not "just working", apparently just because the pulseaudio daemon is not installed/started. This means that as it is the package is unusable by default when just installing it. Thus marking it serious too. pulseaudio should at _least_ be recommended, so it gets installed by default by various apt tools without making it a strict requirement.
