gf, I have no opinion on that. I’ve found that whether engineers consider something to be a feature/enhancement is sometimes very different from whether users do. (For example, it’s possible that Synaptic already contains code that describes what is Broken about a package, and it just isn’t triggering because of a logic or GTK error.) It also has only a vague relationship to how important it is: sometimes missing features are critically important, and sometimes bugs are inconsequential.

In this case, it’s a fairly uncommon situation (suggesting lower importance), but when you do encounter it, Synaptic is almost gratuitously unhelpful (suggesting higher importance). So I would triage it as Medium.
