Why did you change the severity ? it's still a feature request

Actually, such features have very little chances to be implemented on
the distribution side.
Please ask and contribute upstream.

By the way, what you're requesting might not be possible because of the
way trash is handled (i.e. virtual folder).
See this bug for example :

(Hence, I changed back the severity, forwarded and tag...)
