    whose main purpose is not the operation of a specific init system.
 
    Degraded operation with some init systems is tolerable, so long as
-   the degradation is no worse than a tolerable bug.  So the lack of
-   a particular init system does not excuse a bug nor reduce its
-   severity; but conversely, nor is a bug more serious simply because

+   the degradation is no worse than what the Debian project would
+   consider a tolerable (non-RC) bug even if it were affecting all
+   users.  So the lack of support for a particular init system does not
+   excuse a bug nor reduce its severity; but conversely, nor is a bug
+   more serious simply because it is an incompatibility of some software

    Maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches
    to enable improved interoperation with various init systems.
