I did not know that it broke the entire info system. Having these bugs
at RC level would prevent the affected package to migrate to testing (if
it's properly versioned aka the version in unstable).

I aged a whole lot of packages because they fix RC bugs and having them
age for too long usually means that they get entangled with some
transition and need even more time to migrate than the usual 10 days.
Though new RC bugs in unstable are certainly a reason to block the
migration.
