In that case, require B-U only for those where we want or need
to have them in the release.
(And schedule binNMUs on “unproblematic” packages shortly before
the release, to keep even that number down. Of course, this *may*
introduce new bugs, but in that case the package was (hiddenly)
RC-buggy in the first place. And we’d probably want the binNMU
to happen in testing/frozen not in unstable, at that point… well,
jessie’s a long way, so some part of this may, as crazy as it
sounds, even look acceptable. Or not. Just random ideas.)
