No. Just for the record (not speaking about appropriateness of this
NMU): It tells that it's normally only accepted for RC-bugs. But
neither is the d-r normative not means "accepted" the same as allowed.
I have done NMUs for bugs with lower importance (IIRC even down to
wishlist), and will do so again in future - if I consider it
appropriate.
Of course, I contact the maintainer before, and put the NMU to delayed
(and have also removed NMUs on maintainer request, and will so in
future).
Cheers,
Andi
