Please go ahead.
Those bugs are really time bombs. I don't want to think about what
will happen if any of those packages need an upload for
security.debian.org once sarge has been released as stable.

Another dir.old.gz in another package having the same bug.
This bug has a nasty property: A single package with this bug may be
difficult to notice and even "almost harmless". It is two or more
packages having this bug what is really catastrophic.
Since a package has not more "right" than others to be "the single one
package having this bug", we can't do anything but treat all these bugs
with the same RC severity.
