Dear release team, I'd like to get your confirmation that source packages that fail to build from source because they miss to declare a build dependency on packages outside the essential and build-essential set are actually of RC severity. The remaining packages that fail this (mostly because they are missing a B-D on tzdata or mount) can be found under this usertag: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org;tag=missing-build-depends-on-not-build-essential The fix is trivial (just adding the B—D) and all bugs have a patch attached. Those bugs were set from 'serious' to 'important' by Sebastian Ramacher a few months ago and I'd like to revisit this decision now that we are at the beginning of a new release cycle. Thanks! cheers, josch
