If the MUST specify source dependencies, it's RC by definition. That was
the whole point of the MUST/SHOULD/MAY split.
If you want something else: either per-package exceptions, or some way
of documenting how policy is planned to look in the future (at least,
when there is such a plan), I've already suggested ways of dealing with
this: README.Debian and BLOCKED/ONHOLD. But MUST already serves a purpose
as is, please don't mess with it.
