I'm currently undergoing a sprint to push this to an end, I'm down to
~80 packages still affected, a handful already in deferred, and if I
continue with this pace I'm going to NMU/team upload all of them by the
end of the next week or so.

We came to a point where I think the number of affected packages is not
going down  by itself, since most of the packages have either the
maintianer that is de-facto MIA or the package is de-facto orphaned.

So I ask for permission to bump all those bugs to severity:serious, and
move on; that way I'll have the excuse to ask for RM: RoQA for a couple
of packages without feeling too guilty...


PS: let me guess, should this bug be reassigned to ftp-master for RM?
since you already stated -release is not the right place for this, and a
transition tracker is not really needed in this case.
