Hi Sebastian (and others), The tag being experimental is orthogonal to its severity. If you are interested in seeing it become a non-experimental tag, I can recommend having a look at writing a patch for #787853. From memory, the information needed is already collected. It just need to be used (bonus for a test case too). As for the severity: Surely, it could be bumped, but given it is not a tag people can always trivially fix (possibly breaking ABI is not my definition of "trivial"), I am not necessarily convince it is in our best interest to be very loud with this tag. That said, I can be convinced otherwise as long as it does *not* lead to """blindly "fixed" lintian tag syndrome""".
