Hi,

While going through my answer for some procedures questions with my
AM, we discovered that the description of the sid tag in
bug-maint-info.txt is wrong:

 > from /usr/share/doc/debian/bug-maint-info.txt:
 > 
 >   sid
 >           This bug particularly applies to an architecture that is
 > currently unreleased (that is, in the sid distribution).

 Yes, this is wrong.

 This is correct.

The current description of the sid tag in bug-maint-info.txt suggest
that the tag is used to tag RC bugs which only applies to
architectures not released and as such should not influence the
propagation to testing. But if the only applies to architectures not
release it should not be RC anyway. 

So I suggest to change the description to the description given on the
webpage. 

Greetings Arjan
