[Reportbug-maint] Bug#746021: reportbug: severity == 'does-not-build' selects severity 'serious' on non release architectures

[John David Anglin]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.5.0
Severity: normal

See for example:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746020

I believe 'does-not-build' accurately reflects the situation but package
maintainers do not like the severity selected by reportbug.
