I wrote the text above before reading Sven's message. The text of
bug-maint-info.txt in stable (etch) does not feature the unarchive
command yet since it was added after the doc-base package was frozen or
nobody cared to update it before. Please, let it be:

This makes it impossible to report a bug with RC severity in the Bug
Tracking System that permits RC bugs to remain in the next releases of
Debian when the report is closed incorrectly and nobody notices before
they are out.
