I consider this issue as unimportant.  Not sure how I can mark it this
way in the security tracker.

Basically the severities behind the status in brackets. But note that
in this case it was already marked low, with the meaning of severities
in
http://security-team.debian.org/security_tracker.html#severity-levels


Basically then adding (unimportant) in the line for the package, in
this case

	- xen <unfixed> (unimportant; bug #784011).

I have changed that now, refering to your comment in this bug.
