Hi,

If the bug is RC on its own, but you believe it is irrelevant for the
Jessie release, the correct option would be to have it ignored (please
file a bug against release.debian.org for that).
  Mind you, the assumption is that the bug is in fact RC.  If not, the
release team will probably recommend downgrading it instead.

If the bug only prevents "new packages" from being build (i.e. packages
not already in Jessie/sid), it /sounds/ like it might not be RC after
all (maybe "important").  However, please keep in mind that my answer is
solely based on the above mail.

Thanks,
~Niels
