i just implement what asked here, with also a "rollback" functionality
that will downgrade any RC bug for a source with not-leaf packages.
there's a chance some bugs which severity was raised by hand (f.e.
because a dependency package was removed) will get reverted to normal,
we'll see how it goes. the change will go live in a few minutes.
