According to that page, it should be rated as high importance.

* Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)
Yes, all users who wants to use fglrx and wine.
* A problem with an essential hardware component (disk controller, built-in networking, video card, keyboard, mouse)
Yes, package conflict for the video card driver.
* Prevents the application or any dependencies from functioning correctly at all
Yes, both wine and fglrx.
* Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective
Yes, both wine and fglrx.
* Impacts accessibility of a core application 
Yes, fglrx.

You can't even get build-dep for wine.

Nevertheless, fixing this bug should be done before the final release of
Ubuntu 14.10. If it can not be fixed easily, it would be better to
remove the conflicting dependency from wine. Only a few users would be
effected and they can fix it themselves by installing the necessary
packages manually.

Bug description:
  The nvidia-cuda-toolkit package needs to depend on a minimum version of the CUDA library included in nvidia-graphics-drivers.
  The current Debian version of nvidia-cuda-toolkit (5.0.35-4) does this on Debian systems by checking the version of libcuda1 and on Ubuntu systems by checking the version of nvidia-current, nvidia-curent-updates, nvidia-experimental-304 or nvidia-experimental-310.

  It would greatly simplify maintenance of packages building against
  libcuda.so.1 and libOpenCL.so.1 if the nvidia-graphics drivers could
  provide virtual packages that reflect the API level, for example,
  libcuda-5.0-1 and libopencl-1.2-1.

  It was decided that the nvidia drivers packages will provide libcuda-5.0-1, libopencl1 and opencl-icd (LP: #763457) virtual packages. Additionally, nvidia-*.shlibs would contain:
  libOpenCL  1 libopencl1
  libcuda    1 libcuda-5.0-1
  libGL 1 libgl1

  Similarly, the amd drivers package will provide libopencl1 and opencl-icd virtual packages, as well as an .shlibs containing:
  libOpenCL  1 libopencl1
  libGL 1 libgl1
