Can we have an explanation for what the triaging as "Low" for Jaunty
means in practical terms?

The effect of the bug is that people who use f-spot and Jaunty
throughout the Jaunty lifetime will have every single one of their
imported photos dumped into their home directory. Not into
subdirectories of their home directory, an entire six months (at least)
worth of photos all directly under ~/

This will, unless they run my script, never be repaired (unless the
karmic fixed package actually moves existing photos, I don't see any
hint that it does), meaning that, if they, for example, back up ~/Photos
believing it contains their imported photos as the program informed them
it would they will miss all photos imported during the Jaunty lifecycle.

It's not a data loss bug in and of itself, but it's something of a
serious data integrity bug.

So does "Low" mean, practically:

(a) the effects of the bug appear minor to Ubuntu developers?
(b) the Ubuntu developers have no opinion about the effects of the bug, but do not intend to fix it in Jaunty? 
(c) the Ubuntu developers have no opinion about the effects of the bug and will not prioritise a fix but would accept one if the community organises the SRU as far as possible?
