Question - is there an automatic unblock for fixed RC bugs?

[Iustin Pop <iustin@debian.org>]

Hi all,

I did a NMU and a QA upload two weeks ago, both fixing an RC bug, and
today I wanted to send the request for unblocking these.

However—lo and behold—both were unblocked over the weekend. Was this an
automatic unblock, because RC bugs were fixed, or a manual one? I'm just
curious, to understand how the freeze exceptions work, that's all—I
don't complain about the unblocks!

The packages in question are localpurge and qtparted.

thanks,
iustin
