Would it be enough for these issues to be filed as RC bugs and the
package be allowed into unstable, or is there a set of issues that
need to be fixed before this happens? [If there is a set, what is it?]
I'm fine with specifically spelling out the issues that we're already
aware of needing to be fixed; I just think it's not fair to the
prospective maintainer to have a moving set of things to fix for
uploading to the archive. [It's perfectly reasonable to have a moving
set of things to fix for propogation to testing, though.]
