is the decision about rc-buggy-ness one for ftp-master? usually these issues are sorted out between package maintainer, bug submitter, release team, and maybe ctte. I don't see ftp-master involved with that. Sure it makes sense to reject *obvious* rc issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I really like the approach of some ftp-masters to accept a package and then file rc-issues, if there are some, like adding updated copyright information. This way you also have a place to discuss the issue. Matthias
