Confused about the pill...

I've been taking low-dose BC pills for several months now, and while skimming over the little phamplet that comes with each refill, I noticed the paragraph that discusses missed periods. Assuming that one takes all their pills correctly, it says to continue as normal, and to get checked out if you miss 2 periods in a row. My question is: Do lighter-than-what-one-is-used-to-on-the-pill periods count as "missing a period"? I have heard that such is counted as a miss, and I have also heard that any bleeding you get providing that it is at the correct time and you haven't missed any pills or taken any late, or not had any other situations that would have hampered the effectiveness, can be considered a period. In other words, the only time a miss would "count" is if a period was COMPLETELY skipped. My pill packet insert isn't really clear on this. Which is correct?
