No, but the release team is explicitly happy with *me* tagging stuff wheezy-
ignore following guidelines discussed on debian-release.

the conclusion there has been: (in stable) distributable stuff which is non-
free or wrongly mentioned in debian/copyrights are serious bugs - but serious 
bugs which *can* be ignored.

(and yeah, usually I cc: debian-release at l.d.o explicitly on such taggings, 
because it's the proper thing to do. as I also know that most if not all of 
the release team are subscribed to all RC bugs anyway, I sometimes forget 
this...)
