And consider the case where the bug has been fixed in git but the package
has not been uploaded because that small change didn't warrant an upload
of its own. When the FTBFS bug pops up, the fix for the autopkgtest will
be uploaded.
And if it's really something that release managers wants to enforce for
buster, the severities can be raised say 2 months before the freeze.
