Forgive my ignorance, but I don't see what reasoning drove reducing this bug's 
severity. https://release.debian.org/testing/rc_policy.txt says "[A]n issue is 
release critical if it: [...] * makes unrelated software on the system (or the 
whole system) break". I was bitten by this bug today (in testing), and from my 
perspective, the timidity package broke (important, IMO) functionality of a 
suite of other unrelated packages. That seems to qualify for at least serious 
(and therefore RC) severity. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Brendon
