Hi,

the current (long-standing) rule to decide about the RC-priority is
that the release team has the final say (apart from the obvious
exceptions to call the tech ctte or the developers at large). The
release team has documented in
http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt when a bug should have
an RC priority and when not. Please refer to that document.

The maintainer has the first say whether a bug fits into that
description, but the release team could make the final decisions (and
they regularly do so; with the named exceptions per the constitution).

In case there are questions about the document, please contact the
release team. Only in case their decision isn't acceptable (which is
quite more than "you would have prefered a different decision", or
they refuse to do a decision), then contact the technical committee.

I'm closing this bug report now, as it looks like the release team
didn't review this decision. In case their is a need for the technical
committee to do a final decision, please open a new bug report,
stating the decision of the release team (or how you tried to get one,
and they failed to make one in an appropriate time frame) and why you
think their decision isn't acceptable for Debian.


Thanks for your support and your caring for Debian.


Andi
