Given the hostility expressed against signatories of my work I'm not
going to name names. If you do care you can look through the changes
and changelog files.

No, that is not what I ment. Only its amd64 internal severity is
serious, i.e. it must be patched in the alioth repository or hell
breaks loose. The Debian severity was set to wishlist.

A while back I asked on irc if it was ok to get minimal changes like
adding amd64 to the Architecture list or similar non intrusive patches
that don't affect !amd64 uploaded and was told that it would be ok for
t-p-u (implying that they wouldnt just be rejected because they don't
affect official release archs).
If that is no longer the case or not the opinion of the whole RM team
then please tell me now and Debian-amd64 can stop trying to make an
unofficial release with minimal deviations from debian.
