At the current time, there is a 1½ until it becomes relevant with an exception. And I am happy to grant an exception for chocolate-doom to at least 5th of Feb provided that nothing else hinders the testing migration at that point in time. If the problem is still not resolved by the 5th of Feb, we will have to revisit the issue and the exception. Should the bug be fixed after the soft freeze but before 5th of Feb, please submit an unblock request against release.debian.org /with/ a reference to this mail. Thanks, ~Niels
