Brian: I would like to have an exception mechanism so that bugs which
cannot be fixed before release and which you determine not to be
necessary to be fixed can be ignored without having to downgrade them.

For example, you downgraded the dpkg dependency calculation problem
(#1797) from `grave' to `normal' by someone.  It is definitely grave
(as defined), but I agree we should not hold up the release of bo for
it.

This can probably be done by just having you maintain a small
exception list.

Ian.
