I do not expect them to consider fixes for non-RC bugs, no. You are not the first to ask like that for non-severe bugs I have filed recently: Please note that Debian being frozen do not imply bugtracker being frozen. I filed a bug, and to the best of my judgement tagged a severity - if you as package maintainer disagree with the severity then you are free to adjust. > If it cannot be fixed for Jessie, I am not so sure about what will > happen after that.

Sounds like you are telling me that this package - and perhaps all of Razor-qt - is expected to not stay alive in its current form. Which means it sounds highly unlikely that there will be an upstream for these packages to track bugs and make fixes for them. Are you - the maintainer of these packages - ready to support these packages regarding security issues for the next maybe 3 years? If not, you should seriously consider requesting their removal from Lenny now, before it enters stable! Note that I do not suggest you drop the package completely, only that you make sure you are committed to maintaining these packages throughout the lifetime of Lenny!
