Simply delete the default value by C-k. Then you can enter whatever you
want, like minor and wishlist.

If you want to get *all* bugs, delete the default value, and don't enter
anything. This is described in the Debbugs User Guide,
(info "(debbugs-ug) Retrieving Bugs")

"If the list is empty, there is no filtering with respect to severities."
