Those packages appeared on the list of packages with fixes for RC bugs
that haven't migrated [1]. From time to time we also check those lists to
see if fixes need an unblock or if there are other issues preventing
them from migrating to testing.

So everything's fine. You don't need to write the unblock requests
earlier. If the debdiff contains more than a targeted fix, we'll wait
for the unblock bug anyway.

Cheers
