Bug#679562: developers-reference: note that it is possible for Release Team to override urgency
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.8
Severity: wishlist

During the NM process my AM and I discovered that it is not documented that the Release team can override the urgency of a package. I informed with the Release team how to do this [1] and my intent to document this. At least one of them thinks it is not worth to document this, but we disagree. Could you please apply the attached patch to the developers reference?
