Hi Bill,

Thanks for all your work on QAing packages for the release.

After discussion on #debian-release (where you're welcome to join us, btw,
whenever you have time), the conclusion is that purging packages with
debconf removed from the system does not accurately model a real-world
problem (865 packages in unstable depend on debconf, including 2 required
packages, 7 important packages, and 9 standard packages), so in spite of
being a policy violation these bugs should not be treated as
release-critical.

The other purge bugs you've reported all involve packages that it's much
more realistic for a user to remove from their system (netbase: 5 standard
reverse-deps, nothing higher; ucf: 1 standard reverse-dep), so I agree that
these should be treated as RC.

Thanks,
