Maybe set the bug severity to critical? The program is unusable and
not suitable for release.

No!!!!!!!!!!!

Please think about what you are saying. The definition of a critical
bug is [0] "makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on
systems where you install the package."

That is certainly not the case. At *most* it is important: "a bug which
has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it
completely unusable to everyone."

Again, just because a bug seriously affects you, does not mean that it
is the same for everyone. In the case of a bug which does not cause a
security vulnerability or a loss or potential loss of data, there is
really no justification for it to be higher than important.
