I tend to disagree. cairo is uploaded, directfb and cdebconf are
(co-)maintained by members of the d-i team and these are the last we are
waiting on for d-i RC1 AFAICS?

Why would we need an RC2 anyway? Unless there are very good reasons to
do an RC2, we should be releasing about a month after RC1 IMHO.
