Re: Bug#908043: plasma-desktop: Plasma-desktop loads with black screen
severity 908043 important
tags 908043 upstream
thanks
Dear MH.
This looks like an upstream bug. I recommend you report this to
upstream bugtracker¹ in case not already done so. Please report back the
link to the upstream bug report. By doing so you help the small Debian
Qt/KDE team.
Severity of this bug is in no way grave as what you reported only
happens in a special use case, while the package just works fine for the
majority of users. It may be grave to you, but that is not what is meant
with "grave" severity in Debian. Instead this is what bug severity
"important" is for².

(especially description for "important")
Thanks,
