Then I humbly suggest you do not have the right to downgrade
this.
,----[ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer ]
| serious
| is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a
| "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or
| release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.
`----
,----[ Debian policy: 1.1. Scope ]
| These classifications are roughly equivalent to the bug severities
| _serious_ (for _must_ or _required_ directive violations), _minor_,
| _normal_ or _important_ (for _should_ or _recommended_ directive
| violations) and _wishlist_ (for _optional_ items).

A release manager has the right to ignore an otherwise RC bug
if in their opinion as a delegate it is not RC; the rest of us are
governed by policy and the bug information as to the severity levels.
I really think that not using debconf should be RC for Squeeze,
though I shall defer to a RM telling me this is not the case.
