Mmm, I don't really think so. Presumably it would be maintainers who
got to set those fields, right? But they are doing so in relation to
*the package*. What's 'critical' for a given package is not necessarily
'critical' for the distribution. If there's a bug in 'some-obscure-
package-two-people-use' that prevents it running, that bug should have
maximum 'severity' (and probably 'priority'), but that still doesn't
mean Matt or Jan would give a damn about it from a 'is the release on
fire?' perspective.
