this will of course also happen to packages that have the bug even if it's not reported. Otherwise: yes. > This is actually a good thing, it means the bugs are "factually RC".

I think that would make sense, given that this currently blocks package migration to testing due to factual build failures on riscv buildds. In #debian-release, aurel32 asked about my opinion on whether those bugs should now be raised to RC and I agreed that they should. Thanks! cheers, josch
