Please also note that https://release.debian.org/bullseye/rc_policy.txt
defines bug severities, not the Policy directly.
For example, while the Policy says that a package in main "must not
require or recommend a package outside of main", the RC policy says
""Recommends:" lines do not count".

I also guess it's not the only case when the buildd infra does things
differently, the best known example is ignoring B-D alternatives.
