Thanks, control, and have a nice day!
# Oops, they fixed the case-insensitivity feature!
stop processing, control!

I am tagging all of my bugs "sid", so they will no longer be relevant
with respect to the release. The release team may untag these bugs if
they desire, as long as the presence or absence of this tag does not
affect its severity (as specified under Debian Policy). It is my policy
from this point on to tag all of my bugs with either the "sid" or
"experimental" tag, as the case may be, to prevent them from affecting
the release. As a consequence, since such bugs are no longer relevant
to the release, they are no longer governed by the release team's
policy, but only by Debian Policy. Bugs that would be serious based on
Debian Policy but merely important based etch RC policy (like those
violating section 2.5) can now be treated as serious, as they will not
affect britney.

The proper solution to this bug is to have an "rc" or
("release-critical" or similar) tag which defines which bugs are RC, or
at least a "not-rc" bug. Alternatively, Debian Policy could again
become the authoritative reference for what is release-critical.

In the event you have a problem with this, feel free to bring it up on
debian-project. I am subscribed, so you need not CC me. *DO NOT* untag
these bugs except as specified above without first bringing the issue up
on -project.
