JFTR, when I set this severity, I meant to _downgrade_ the severity from
RC, rather than to _upgrade_ it from normal. In fact, I had missed back
then, the severity normal set by Phil a few minutes before (either due
to mail lag in the BTS, or more simply due to a missing reload on my
side).

Thanks to Rhonda, I've discovered this misunderstanding on IRC.

BTW, the rationale from my initially high severity was because I
personally consider a serious issue for a package not to be able to be
delivered to users that are still bound to use CDs. As long as we have
CDs as a medium to distribute our distro, I believe we should be able to
make packages fit on them. But of course it is not my call, and Rhonda
is right in stating that it is written nowhere that packages should
actually fit on CDs. My main point was raising the attention on this
issue.

As far as this bug is concerned, and as long as there is no specific
decision on the matter, feel free to set the severity of this bug to
what pleases the maintainer.

And of course thanks to Bruno which has worked on the package split,
this bug will be fixed/moot any time soon apparently.

Sorry for the noise,
Cheers.
