Oh, I didn't look at the date when a bug was reported but at the
severity.

Right, but I asked the people around in #debian-bugs how to handle NMUs
for fixing packages with RCBs and I only got told to look at the policy
section about how an NMU package should look. They told me nothing that
even while the bug-squashing party we use the normal way for NMUs. So
normally I would have choosen the way described above.
