Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.2.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #649408

severity 649408 important
thanks

I chose to raise the severity to "important", according to the list
reportbug gives me (see below). This bug's major effect on the usability of
packages that rely on it are that it *breaks* them:

  aqbanking-tools (this bug report)
  mozilla pop3 client (this bug report)
  ssmtp (#650334)
  sendmail using programs (#652104)

Browsing through the aqbanking-tools (sub)dependencies, there doesn't
seem to be a dependency on gnome-keyring, so I could call
aqbanking-tools "unrelated", which makes it even eligible for raising
the severity to "critical", which would also more precisely reflect my
feelings in this case ("YOU BROKE MY ONLINE BANKING !!!111one"). (For
now,) I leave that decision to someone who doesn't have access to an
axe.


---------------------------- snip -------------------------
1 critical        makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
                  break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security
                  hole on systems where you install the package.
2 grave           makes the package in question unusable by most or all users,
                  or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing
                  access to the accounts of users who use the package.
3 serious         is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem
                  is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive); may or
                  may not affect the usability of the package. Note that non-
                  severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' or
                  'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate
                  other bugs as 'serious' and thus release-critical; however,
                  end users should not do so.). For the canonical list of
                  issues worthing a serious severity you can refer to this
                  webpage: http://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt .
4 important       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
                  without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
5 does-not-build  a bug that stops the package from being built from source.
                  (This is a 'virtual severity'.)
6 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole
                  package; for example, a problem with a particular option or
                  menu item.
7 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors
                  that do not affect the core functionality of the package.
8 wishlist        suggestions and requests for new features.
