I don't understand... I thought the whole point of making a bug release-critical is to keep the bug out of the release (either by having it fixed or removing the package).
No, that's not the point; it's the consequence. There are clear criteria for the bug categories, "breaks unrelated software" is one of them and what is happening here.
if you want to pursue a buster-ignore tag, someone please contact the release team and make it happen. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer says explicit authorization is needed from the release managers, but I'd worry that an email to debian-rele...@lists.debian.org might get lost and it'd be weird to file a bug on release.debian.org asking to apply a tag to another bug.
Someone should indeed do this. I might get around to it, but I can't promise, I'm very busy this week. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
