Hi, is it an RC bug when a package in unstable depends on packages in eperimental (that is, can only be installed in unstable+experimental but not in unstable alone)? I always thought so, but when looking into policy I only found mention of dependencies crossing the bounderies of archive areas, which is an orthogonal issue.
I am asking since I am filing from time to time bug reports with severity=grave in case packages are not installable in sid on all architectures since an extended period of time (typically for at least 4 weeks) [1]. However, recently a maintainer of a package disagreed for a case where a dependency could have been satisfied from experimental [2]. How should I treat such cases in the future? Should I lower the severity of the bug? -Ralf.
