While the rationale given ("circumvents the testing migration delay")
may be relevant furing the freeze time, it is irrelevant for a package
that is now already in testing since months: even if the test would have
been flagged as "superficial", it would have been migrated since long.
IMO the RC flag is understandable only for packages that are not
migrated yet (or migrated just no longer than three days ago).
Otherwise, I don't see the need to a re-upload to fix just this. Can you
enlighten me?
Cheers
Ole
