The question is when: 0 days or 6 months after the CVE announcement? I mean, if 
you need 6 months, that's fine. Just don't claim that you do it in 0 days. 
That's dishonest. Does this make sense?

But you can't call them "NVD severity", because NVD refers to the National 
Vulnerability Database. They do their own analysis of vulnerabilities, that 
some people find trustworthy. You can't just make up your own numbers and claim 
that they are the NVD ratings. That name is taken.

Debian is an organization. It's publishing certain statements on its web site 
that are false. How the misdeeds of an organization are shared among its 
members is an interesting philosophical question, but I don't believe I opined 
on it.
