Not wearing a release team hat, but it is my feeling that such deep nitpicking is certainly wished in the long term....but also helps very well in delaying the release of wheezy. No offense intended to Jakub's work, far from that. We certainly need people doing such archive-wide reviews of things that are often neglected. But we also need to *release* from time to time.....otherwise the prediction hidden in one of my latest blog posts (http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2012/10/09#690000) will be more and more true. It is probably not the moment anymore to do archive-wide mass bug filing with RC severity except for FTBFS issues.
