RC bugs 2013/21

like last week, I was working on the preparation of the Perl 5.18 transition. besides that I also uploaded some RC bug fixes, mostly by taking patches that came from Ubuntu (kudos!):

~~#709676~~ – src:libapache-authenhook-perl: "libapache-authenhook-perl: FTBFS on i386: $Config{ccflags} lost"
fix *FLAGS in debian/rules (pkg-perl)

as a side note (or better: question): why are the bugs for the upcoming Apache 2.4 and openjdk-7 transitions classified as 'serious', instead of as 'important', like the Perl 5.18 ones?
