I guess what Christoph meant is the following: if you upload 1.45 to unstable
you block this way for fixes to 1.44 in testing (and the RM will most probably
not allow 1.45 to migrate to testing).
You could upload 1.45 to experimental for now. This allows you to upload
1.44-2, -3, and so on which just fix RC bugs in 1.44-1, upload them to
unstable and request a freeze exception.
Not sure whether the segfault is a RC bug and whether it is easy to backport
the fix. Same for other issues that got closed in 1.45.
