I don't recall policy saying that maintainer scripts "must" be entirely
bug free.
Obviously they _should_ be bug free, but bugs in maintainer scripts
aren't always RC.

Hi,
how can I find out why a package was removed from testing? I tried to
find this out for wwwoffle, and looked at
- its resolved bugs (no indication)
- its open bugs (one RC, but worked on)
- ftp.debian.org's bugs: nothing
- Search on debian-release: nothing.
Where else can I look?

Dear release team,
#297181 is unreproducible, and the submitter has not answered to our
