Thank you for doing this QA. Did you find some time filing those bugs
already?

I discussed this with the release team and we evaluated the bug against
the rc policy[1]. We concluded that this bug is not release critical.
The rationale essentially is that it matches none of the problem
categories from the rc policy.

Furthermore, I note that policy item 4.6 appears to be neglected
throughout the archive and a significant fraction of packages - sadly -
violate it. Fixing policy 4.6 issues looks like a laudable goal, but one
that is not actively pursued by anyone.
