severity 756450 important
--

Looking at https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities they define critical
(and grave) as ``*introduces* a security hole'', so I agree with you of the 
importance
of this bug, but I see this as an inherent security flaw that needs to get 
addressed,
rather then a critical bug that has appeared.

This definition becomes important when considering that debian automatically 
drops
packages from testing that have critical, grave, or serious marked against them 
and
has already dropped ecryptfs from testing because of this bug.

As this (will) effects a lot of people, including myself who can no longer 
access their
files, and I see no response to this bug, I have dropped the severity to 
important,
both because in terms of description, it best fits the bug, given that this 
doesn't effect
how the package worked before; and because it gives it the highest severity 
without
tripping out the automation routines.

@Package Maintainers, feel free to give and exercise a different view as you 
see fit, I
hope I haven't overstepped the mark.
