control: close -1

Hello Adrian,
>No disagreement on that, but why did you close the bug?


because it triggers an useless autoremoval from testing, while the testing 
version
is completely fine.
>This is a release critical bug that should stay open until it is fixed 
>in sid.


this is not RC, because transitions and binNMU requests aren't.
RC would be in case Britney lets it migrate to testing, which isn't the case.

I requested a biNMU request a few seconds ago, so we should be fine with this 
one
in a few hours/days.

We can't track RC bugs because of a missing NMU, because otherwise the BTW 
would be full
of uninstallability bugs (useless) and "fixed" packages will be removed from 
testing
too (look e.g. to haskell and ocaml)

I know this isn't a strong point, this is why I asked on #-release channel for 
some
advices, feel free to disagree with me, but please followup on #866582

thanks!

G.
