You want to ask the RM whether they would accept 1.45 into testing? You can
contact the release team at debian-release@lists.debian.org.
As far as I know their last statement is
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/10/msg00002.html
which basically says "RC bug fixes only" (the other categories don't seem to
apply here). And I don't see any RC bugs filed against cppcheck.
