debian-www don't maintain the pages you mentioned. The clue is that
they're under release.debian.org. :-)

The list of RC bugs that the BTS provides to britney for testing
migration is updated four times a day - at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00
UTC. You downgraded the bug at 20:00, so when britney ran at 22:00 UTC
she was unaware of the downgrading. The next britney run is in a few
minutes time at which point the bug will no longer be a blocker.

Yes, that's unfortunate.

"Yes, but". The link in question is in a section headed "Dependency
analysis (including build-depends; i386 only):". libcam-dev _does not
exist_ on i386:
libcam-dev | 9.1+ds1-3 | testing | kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386

No. Some of the links don't work (they should be translated to source
packages) and some of the information is confusingly presented. The
information is /not/ incorrect.
